Bags are not permitted within The Burnt City, including small bags such as bum bags (fanny packs). The cloakroom is available for an extra charge if you need to leave items behind. This is complimentary for VIP and Premium ticket holders. Space is limited so we advise against arriving with luggage. Please note that the only exception is for medical reasons. Anything you need to access in order to safely experience the show can be taken in, for example medical devices or sugary snacks. Cameras and mobile devices are not permitted. If you do not want to leave your mobile in the cloakroom, it will be locked in a small bag that you can carry with you.

This is a promenade production and comfortable footwear is recommended including no heels or open toe shoes. There is no dress code, however there are narrow spaces in the show and – depending on your journey – times where you could be invited to crawl or visit small spaces. We would therefore advise that you do not wear delicate clothes or anything you are concerned may be damaged. In hot weather the buildings can be very warm so we suggest dressing light. You will have to leave coats and bags in the cloakroom for an extra charge (see details below). Please note: Punchdrunk are not liable for any cosmetic damage to clothing. You will wear one of Punchdrunk’s signature theatrical masks. This will give you anonymity throughout the performance to help you feel empowered to explore, and also make you distinguishable from the performers. These masks can be taken off in the bar area. Your Punchdrunk mask will be provided on entry and collected on exit. It will fit over most glasses. If you have the option, wearing contact lenses is recommended.

This production is based on Greek tragedies and deals with themes of war, family tragedy, murder and revenge which some may find triggering. There will be dark spaces, loud noises, strobe, haze, nudity and blood as well as dark areas and spaces that are small and confined.

Please note, you will be on your feet for up to three hours. Due to uneven flooring and potentially crowded spaces, the experience is not recommended if you are pregnant.

The choice of where to go and what to see is yours. If you feel uncomfortable you will be able to move to a new area, talk to one of our stewards in black masks or to take a breather in the bar. The bar itself can be noisy so if you need a quiet space please let a member of staff know. If you have any concerns about the content of this experience, email [email protected] or leave a message at 0208 191 1431 and a member of the Punchdrunk team will get back to you.

This production is suitable for ages 16+. There will be no admittance to anyone who, if asked, cannot provide photographic ID proving that they are over 16.

There is a bar that features as part of the performance, which under 18s can only visit in the company of their parent or guardian. Please note this production contains blood, nudity and scenes that some may find distressing.

During the summer months, the heat in the building may require modifications to the performance to safeguard the wellbeing of all audience and staff. The most likely modification is a slightly shortened show - with the maximum run time reducing from three hours to two and half hours. The narrative of the show will still unfurl in full and your enjoyment of The Burnt City should remain unaffected. You will still have ample time to explore the worlds of Greece and Troy, although we strongly recommend arriving on time for your entry slot. A notice will be placed in the entrance and cloakroom notifying audiences of any modifications before entry into the show.  Please be aware that such adaptations to the show do not qualify for refunds or exchanges.

This allows for students to easily access the bar and ensures our staff can contact a responsible person should there be a safeguarding issue. A complimentary Schools Guardian Ticket is available per school group to facilitate this which must be claimed in advance as part of the main order. Please note this ticket does not give the bearer access to the main experience.   AGE RESTRICTIONS Please note, this production is suitable for ages 16+.
