The Hidden Ones

See it if Does a great job of making you understand and feel the experience of Jews in hiding during the Holocaust... for as much as an hour can.

Don't see it if You don’t like very intimate immersive experience. Prefer a show with a plot. This is more situational feelings.

Also This a rich and humbling experience. You have to find your way into the show, but once you do, it gets you. The performers engage with you in just the right way. It's both comforting and uncomfortable at the same time. I'm glad I saw it and recommend others do as well.... Read more Read less

See it if An experience of human warmth, connection and caring in frightening circumstances. I expected to be scared but was instead comforted.

Don't see it if You would not enjoy hiding in a small room and being part of an interpretive dance performance set to soft 1930’s ballads.

See it if you want to see one of the best immersive plays of the year.

Don't see it if you are very susceptible to Holocaust related topics.

Also There is life after Sleep No More! This can be one of the best plays I've seen in my life. Immersive, interesting, just for an audience of six. I cried the day after, ir is very intense, emotional. The smell of the coffee, the lighting, the choreography, incredible! Theater has to go this way...... Read more Read less

See it if you want a life-changing piece of historically informed immersive theatre

Don't see it if you can't cope with immersive theatre - but honestly, I think everyone needs to see this piece, it is deeply moving and important

Also Beautiful, haunting, and exquisite.

This is an incredibly important piece of theatre, that will challenge you as an audience member. For the first time, I was really made aware of the reality of the events that are only 80 years old at this point - obviously, a theatrical piece cannot fully depict the horrors of the time, but this can and does challenge your preconceptions and makes the emotions incredibly real and visceral.

I sat in complete silence at the end of performance in deep contemplation. The piece is not dark for the sake of dark, and handles the subject matter exceptionally well and with the deepest level of respect. This is important art, and it deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.

The immersiveness is easily accessible to all people, don't worry about any crazy running or climbing - but do expect to be a part of the family.

I can not recommend this piece enough.... Read more Read less

See it if you are looking for an unusual & moving immersive experience. It is simple but very powerful.

Don't see it if you are looking for action or plot. This is a quiet, introspective type of performance.

Also This experience really opened my mind in unexpected ways. It further intensified the horrors of WWII in ways that I have never experienced in any other film/play/TV show. If I had a teen I would want them to see this.... Read more Read less

See it if You want a different type of experience. Like immersive shows. Want to step into the shoes of people who have gone through hiding in a war

Don't see it if You don't like immersive shows. Anything relating to the holocaust upsets you. You want an upbeat experience Want a traditional show

Also This was an intense experience. But it took about 20 min for me to get into the feel of it. It is made for you to feel what it was like for people who were hiding from the nazis during WW2. My issue was that they had a radio which was playing american music which I feel wasnt realistic in terms of what really would have been playing in germany at the time. Only when the radio stopped playing music and you heard german shouting through it did i get into the experience. After that it was completely intense for me.
The stories that the actors shared to each member of the audience were heartbreaking and the end was terrifying... Read more Read less

See it if You are comfortable with immersive work and want an intense, intimate dive into a troubling past.

Don't see it if Well done 1 on 1 audience-performer interactions will take you out of a story instead of bring you deeper in.

See it if You believe history is more than the battles and the dead. History is about the people who lived through the slaughter, and suffer daily.

Don't see it if You have trouble in smaller spaces or with people touching you. It’s not a lot of touching, just guiding you through the space.
