Hurstville: The Heir

A new multi-sensory, immersive theatre production is coming to Singapore. Taking cues from Punchdrunk's infamous Sleep No More , Hurstville: The Heir transforms a four-storey shophouse in Chinatown into the titular village, a haven for the downtrodden amidst the economic downturn of the great depression. Unlike conventional theatre performances in Singapore, the outcome of the stories in Hurstville are not fixed – they are dependent on the decisions audience members make during their encounters. The production takes you back in time to the 1930s, at the very height of the great depression, where you uncover secret rooms and even have one-on-one experiences if you're lucky. Additionally, audience members can opt to include a three-course meal that is integrated into the storyline and takes the form of a rustic, 1930s-style banquet within the village. All guests also receive an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink during the production.
