Fresh from a sell-out Scottish tour and West End debut, this two-part immersive political gig-theatre spectacular summons Dystopians to inRockTrination; the audience's votes shape events. Martial law, elections and a happiness cult collide with massive songs, fantastic projections, monstrous masks and biting satire confronting greed, corruption, power and propaganda. The show is bold, provocative and unexpectedly human – a defiant beacon of hope. **** (Herald). ***** (LouderThanWar.com). ***** (MustSeeTheatre.com). **** (MusicalTheatreReview.com).
