Cake Gets Punchdrunk
Last night twenty or so intrepid Cakers stepped inside Battersea Arts Centre and experienced the theatrical phenomenon that is The Masque of the Red Death. Punchdrunk’s sensational production offers a startling new take on the haunting tales of Edgar Allen Poe and draws the audience into an unsettling world of fear and intrigue.
Cakers were free to choose what they watched and where they went in BAC’s huge Victorian building, so while some of us found ourselves deserted (and frankly terrified) in the vaults, others were immersed in the sights and sounds of a decadent yesteryear in the Palais Royal.
