The Ritual: More Shows Added


The Ritual, The Ritual, The Ritual.

It begins tonight! We've performed to a test audience, we've performed to the press, now it's your turn...

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to explain to people what is going to happen to them during this show, through fear of doing the worst thing I think a show like could suffer from, which is a broken enigma.

Even though British Halloween has well and truly been corrupted by American/commercial influence tattered elements of it's scared remains... remain.

All Hollows Eve is a funny one... Many Christians claim it as theirs, as do certain Pagan sect's (mainly Gaelic Shaman), both disagreeing it's root's lie in some sort of Celtic (influenced) Feast/Celebration, even though that's what most scholars believe to be true, but I think the truth is (according to Wikipedia) that no one quite knows how it started, or at least if they do, they're not telling. Which is pretty mysterious when you think about.

Other Halloween tradition's origins can't be confirmed either; such as pumpkin carving, apple bobbing and apparently the frequently used imagery of witches and black cats, which all adds to an ever evolving mystery, because f**k knows where Zombies, Kinky Nurses and Wheres Wally came from...

So at least we can claim The Ritual has preserved one of the original concepts of Halloween, and that is it's mystery, it's mystic, it's enigma. We're not telling you a thing! We're not telling you where you're going, what will happen or even why, we're dragging you at full speed out of your reality and immersing you into an environment tailored to make you feel scared, intimidated and uncomfortable... Weird isn't it.

It's sold out... But fear not! Because we've added three more dates, this means another 39 tickets are available.

7pm - Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

You can call to book em' here: 01633656757

Mucho,

Justin
