LIVE NOW Digital Commission: Nigel and Louise - Mystery Trip

We don’t know what we’re doing.   

We don’t know where we're going.

But we do know that we need to get out of here. 

Come with us 

Mystery Trip is an epic digital excursion created by pioneering theatre mavericks Nigel Barrett & Louise Mari in collaboration with disability and welfare rights activist Kerry Underhill and a gang of people confined to their homes due to chronic health conditions.

On three consecutive Saturdays in March our online coach will offer you a unique live mystery trip - each one stopping at different surprise destinations. All from the comfort of your own home.

Bring a sandwich.

Please note :  Each trip will fully accessible with live palantyped closed captions, BSL interpretation and audio description.

Kerry Underhill enjoys performance and visual art, but hasn’t been able to access the arts for almost a decade, due to restricted mobility and chronic pain. She enjoys recreating historical underwear, houseplant wrangling and watching the seasons unfold from her window in Bath.

Nigel Barrett & Louise Mari have been at the cutting edge of theatre innovation since meeting as part of cult performance collective shunt. They have been commissioned by Manchester International Festival, Tate Britain, National Theatre, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London International Festival of Theatre, Liverpool Biennial, The Museum of London, Edinburgh Art Festival, National Theatre Wales and Expo 2020 Dubai. They are winners of the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award.
