During the height of the Covid pandemic period, the Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) decided to totally repurpose the Grade II-listed, Victorian, Playhouse Theatre in London鈥檚 West End in order to stage a new, immersive production of the musical Cabaret. Carmody Groarke have created a faux Weimar 1920s ambiance that completely conceals the 1885 building.聽聽Transforming the normal front-door arrival sequence to an underground peregrination that takes audiences through a confined basement and past actors鈥� changing rooms and a number of bars, the project sets the scene even before the curtain is lifted.聽
