With enthralling storytelling and a bone-chilling live soundtrack, What We Must will immerse you in a dark and desperate wasteland of your own creation. The clock is ticking, and working with your fellow survivors, you must decide just how much you're willing to sacrifice to protect the people you love.
We have to get home. Terrible choices lie in our path. We will do what we must.
What We Must is a TTRPG inspired storytelling experience where the audience play the survivors of the post-apocalypse. You have 5 days to get home before everyone dies, and each day brings a new situation and a new choice, it is up to you how ruthless you will be and whether you make it home in time.
Join us over Halloween: 30th, 31st October, 1st November. The bar is open at 5pm and the show starts promptly at 7:30pm
