An immersive theatre experience and a playground of Grimsby & Cleethorpes nightlife, is it dead out? pre-drinks is the prequel event to lowercase theatre’s debut show is it dead out?, taking place on Friday 11th October!

is it dead out? pre-drinks will introduce you to Tara and Will and the all too familiar world around them. You’ll get pulled into pre-drinks, hop on the last train to Clee, and head on a night out all without leaving Docks Academy.

There will be theatre and music, and it’ll be interactive but not in a scary way. You’ll be able to explore the space; go on side quests, chat to characters, play games, dance, sing, have a drink. Or not. You could sit and watch and say nothing. As much or as little as you’re comfortable with.

Due to the themes of our show, audience must be 16+. Alcohol will be served in the venue. There will be music, and at times the space will be dimly lit. Seating will be available throughout the night – however, not everybody will be seated. You’ll be invited to explore the venue, and move around the space. It might feel a bit more like a gig!
