The vast former offices of BBC London will play host to a summer of unique and major sports screenings.
Marylebone Gardens will open its doors in May with an immersive, contemporary staging of Henry V by Theatre Delicatessen in the basement of the building. Drawing on promenade and site-specific elements to explore the experience of armed conflict and themes that surround the concept of a ‘just war’, the audience will be plunged into a makeshift underground barracks, immersed in a total theatre environment as the action unfolds all around them.
Formed in 2007, Theatre Delicatessen has staged eight full-scale theatre productions to significant critical acclaim – including Time Out Critics’ Choice Best of the Year 2009 for Pedal Pusher, and nominated for Best Production and Best Entertainment in the Off West End Theatre Awards 2010 for Theatre Souk.
