The Drop Extends London Run to February 2022

The Drop Swamp Motel

After a smash-hit opening this month, immersive entertainment makers Swamp Motel will extend The Drop for a further eight weeks, giving even more audiences the chance to delve into the mysteries of a hidden world, descend into the dark underbelly of international crime and prepare to face The Drop.

Commenting on the extended booking period and response so far, Swamp Motel founders and creative directors Ollie Jones and Clem Garritty said: “We’ve been really overwhelmed with the response to The Drop so far. We’re delighted people are having as much fun as we had creating this long awaited return to live entertainment and we’re hopeful that it offers an exciting escape this winter. It’s an ambitious and elaborate production, that like all our work, places audiences right at the centre of the story, a story we hope will leave them questioning what was real and what wasn’t long after they leave.”

The Drop follows the success of Swamp Motel’s Isklander  trilogy of online mystery experiences – which have seen 70,000 people play detective across the UK, the US and Australia over the past eighteen months.

In 1912, two London bookbinders were commissioned to create a luxurious jeweled binding for a book that became known as The Great Omar. Hugely valuable, the book was purchased by a buyer and was packed safely aboard a boat bound for New York. On the 15th of April 1912 the RMS Titanic sank along with the book and a sea of secrets were never recovered. Until now…

       

In this theatrical thriller-meets-escape experience, audiences will explore the mystery surrounding this forgotten tome and a hidden world created for a maximum of just four people at a time. Swamp Motel have transformed an abandoned East London location to create a uniquely intimate encounter for groups of friends and family to enjoy and some unexpected characters along the way. Stepping into a lift where their fate hangs in the balance, will they go up, down, or further than they imagined?

The Drop is Swamp Motel’s most ambitious production to date, created within their trademark mould of interactive, exhilarating experiences that blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Their use of cutting-edge technology and inventive storytelling plants audiences onto the set of their very own visceral thriller.

The Drop and its storyworld will expand further in early 2022, with an interactive film experience, created in collaboration with The Lowry as part of its Live Now commissioning programme. This online counterpart will allow for audiences across the world to step into Swamp Motel’s latest theatrical conspiracy from a different perspective, from the comfort of home. More details to be announced in the coming months.

The Drop is strictly limited to 20 sessions per day. Tickets for the extension go on sale today, Thursday 18 November. A limited number of tickets are available throughout November and December. Visit thedropexperience.co.uk.
