Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept ...
'Accomplice' Interactive Show Opens
Forget England’s noble theatrical heritage. If going to the theatre for you means singing nuns, puppets having sex and stalking Jude Law outside the stage door, then you’ll love Accomplice: London, the new interactive ‘show’ opening tomorrow.
Buy individual tickets (or gather your own group of ten) for a performance on a weekend afternoon and prepare to be thrown into the middle of a large-scale heist on the South Bank with actors who blend into the public and members of the public taking part in the show.
Part theatre, part scavenger hunt, part criminal activity (without the jail time), it starts with a mysterious phone call two days before, telling you where to meet. During the experience, you’ll spend two and a half hours as an accomplice to a crime, solving clues and moving between local pubs, shops and famous landmarks trying to figure out if that shady-looking man is an actor or just creepy.
We won’t give too much away, but wear comfy shoes, expect some drinks and snacks, and — most importantly — trust no one.
For more information and to book tickets (£30), go to accomplicetheshow.com.

My girlfriend and I booked the London version of this show and waited for the phone call to tell us where to meet up. No phone call! A look on the website gives the following statement: I'm nervous about buying a ticket and never hearing about the starting point. You'll ruin my day. Why would you want to ruin my day? Don't worry so much! Of course you'll find out the starting point. Trust us on this one - everyone knows the starting point in time. What a load of rubbish! There was no phone call, we called the number provided several times and no one answered. We emailed and again got no response. Luckily, two of our friends were booked on a later showing so we found out where to attend. However, when wee turned up with them, the guide was rude and told us to go away and we would have to contact the company. How are we supposed to do this?! We persisted and after a frank exchange of words were allowed to join the group. However, we have tried to contact the show subsequently with several emails and have not received a response, let alone an apology. If our friends hadn't been booked in, we would have had no idea where to go and have lost £60 too. This level of service is both unacceptable and unnecessary. I have no hesitation in not recommending this show to anyone. It is certainly best avoided.
