About the show
Agent Red's AUDITION is a disabled-led, accessible, interactive theatre piece by Agent Red Arts in which one audience member is invited on stage for a live audition. The audience watches to see whether the CANDIDATE follows the prompts or goes their own way — and later gets to see how they got on. Every show is different depending on the person who takes the stage. To sit the audition yourself, a separate CANDIDATE ticket is required. The show is interactive and accessible.
Why see this show?
A genuinely interactive theatre piece where the audience watches a real person navigate a live audition. No two shows are the same, and the tension of watching someone choose their own path through it is surprisingly gripping.
