New Immersive Comedy Show THE REVELLERS SOCIETY Announced

OSO Arts Centre presents the Revellers Society!

You are invited to tour each of their three rooms in exclusive groups of up to fifteen guests. In each of the spaces you will sit back, relax and be entertained by some of their wildest and most eccentric members. All of this will be socially distanced, with as much alcohol to rub on your hands as there is to quench your thirst!

Experience the paranormal peculiarities of explorer Gilbert Hayes and bombshell, Cissy Holliday. Marvel as song and dance duo Gleblii and Pavlonia evade the censor and skirt the edges of decency. And meet Aubrey Everett, a would-be star determined to make his big comeback whatever the cost to his dignity.

Modesty has no place at the Revellers Society, but style and sophistication do. Come make merry in this truly immersive theatrical comedy experience, but one thing: leave your expectations at the door...

Limited seats. Don't miss the show everyone's talking about!

The Revellers Society is playing 5th-8th November!
