The Interrogation
Part of Greenwich Fair
29 August
Duration: 60 minutes
What to Expect: Participate
Tickets: Free but ticketed
Charlene has done something terrible.
Lots of people saw her, and they’re not happy.
Using new mobile app technology, Access All Areas will take you on a GPS-guided walk through the streets of Greenwich to discover what Charlene did, and to find out what you can do about it.
What would you do if you thought you saw a crime? Would you get involved? Would you tell the police? Would you walk away? What if your phone could tell you exactly how to handle it?
Commissioned by The Lowry and touring nationally through local streets, this new interactive audio production lets you question the causes of criminality, the ableism of language, and the feeling of being judged as a learning disabled person.
Bring your smartphone, and your wits, as you follow the story of a shocking local crime.
Sorry, this event has already happened!
