Ish Rai: Unique experience - live interactive theatre. Follow characters around to see there story. Dark setting and everyone has to wear masks. Elaborate & crazy stories, you just have to try it.
Anna K.: Outstanding interactive theatrical experience. Just do it. Try not to bring anything but ID and credit card; you will need your maneuverability. Don't be afraid to be overdressed, but dress lightly.
