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?

Whilst the show isn’t *quite* finished yet (after a bit of a rollercoaster year) we’re super excited to share what we have so far; an interactive celebration of local culture in North East Lincolnshire through theatre, music and spoken word.

For Tara and Will, a night out is meant to be the perfect distraction from everyday responsibilities and the weight of expectation to do something with your life. boring. But in seeking out some familiar escapism (in the likes of Matrix, Rift and Beach) they find their hometown might be pushing them towards the decisions they’re trying to avoid.

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!
