impression at this pioneering
performance which issues audience members with cutting-edge virtual- reality headsets. 3D imagery will put you at the heart of an emotionally intense story of power and control. à Rada. Jul 12-23. £15.

adventure round London, where actors mingle with unsuspecting passers-by. Can you spot the terrorist lurking in their midst? à Secret location. Until Jul 24. £20.
Needles and Opium Does all this interactive stuff
sound too much like hard
