Masked Ball - 28th October 2017 - South England
The Masked Ball is a Halloween show like no other, alongside a surreal and strange sideshow of fairground follies, rock ‘n’ roll dancing and freak show craziness, inspired by the kooky, retro beach resort Coney Island in New York.
Dare to enter the immersive multi level party kingdom lavishly produced in a theme park where themed venues range from the outrageous to the downright spectacular. Expect a myriad of rooms, dance floors, dens, hidden bars, unpredictable nano-venues, eccentric humour and epic raves with a soundtrack of New York disco, primal chants, cosmic guitar licks and terrifying techno.
