Apple of Discord

Step into the world of Gods & Mortals When the gods gather for a wedding, chaos is never far behind. Experience the legendary myth that sparked the Trojan War in this ambitious immersive production from award-winning Nottingham theatre company Chronic Insanity. Set across three atmospheric floors of the stunning Grade II listed People's Hall, complete with ornate staircases, historic cellars, and mysterious subterranean caves, Apple of Discord invites you to witness divine drama unfold around you. Your Experience This is not theatre where you sit and watch. This is theatre where you choose your own path. Begin at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, where gods and mortals mingle in celebration. Watch as the goddess Eris arrives uninvited, hurling a golden apple inscribed "To the Fairest" among the guests. Then witness the chaos that follows as Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite each claim the prize. Explore freely across multiple rooms and floors. Follow the goddesses through three interwoven story loops. Tackle quests and solve puzzles. Discover intimate one-on-one encounters in hidden chambers. Descend into the caves to uncover oracular truths. Or simply enjoy the cabaret, grab a drink, and watch the drama unfold from the main hall. You decide how deeply you want to engage. There's no single "correct" way to experience the story, every visit is unique! Ticketing Structure 3-Hour Ticket: £30 Enter at the beginning. You're invited to the ceremony itself, experience the full wedding celebration and follow the complete mythological journey from first toast to final judgment. 2-Hour Ticket: £20 Enter one hour later. You're invited to the reception, join the festivities already in progress and immerse yourself in the unfolding divine quarrel. Why This Matters Immersive theatre has long been the preserve of London, with ticket prices often exceeding £50-£100+ and requiring costly travel and accommodation. Chronic Insanity is bringing that same production quality and ambition to Nottingham, at a fraction of the cost. This is world-class immersive theatre, made locally, priced accessibly, and designed for the people of the East Midlands. The Venue The People's Hall is one of Nottingham's hidden gems, an 18th-century townhouse in the heart of the city centre with a rich history as a working men's club, textile training school, and meeting place for The Antediluvian Order of the Buffalo. Its unique architecture, atmospheric spaces, and layered floors make it the perfect setting for mythological storytelling. Managed by Nottingham Historic Building Trust, the venue represents the best of our city's heritage brought to life through innovative arts programming.
