You must decide what is and isn’t acceptable in the name of security while getting the job done. What will you do when the power is in your hands?

Thought provoking and superbly performed immersive experience with a political charge
The genius of Black Antler is it doesn’t tell us what to think 5/5
★★★★★ Uncomfortable at times and outright disturbing at others… This truly gripping piece of theatre will have you gripped
★★★★★ The cleverest and most challenging I have ever taken part in
★★★★★ As the show gets going, I become fully immersed, at times even forgetting that the situation is make-believe, which is a real credit to some of the fantastic actors… As the show ends, we wish we had more time. The beauty of Operation Black Antler is in the complete unknown
★★★★ Being outside your comfort zone is what Black Antler is all about… Unique, slightly surreal and unafraid to tackle taboos, it’s an experience you’re unlikely to find again
