Theatre-goers have been enjoying performances with a difference during a new festival in London—interactive plays, performed by solitary (单独的) actors to a single audience member. Welcome to the One-On-One Festival.
One space, one performer and you. Thirty-five artists in 35 different spaces for 600 different performances per night and 10,000 across the whole festival. All crammed into the shabby surroundings of the Battersea Arts Centre (BAC) in south-west London. The result is a unique theatre experience. The cost is £17.50. You choose the shows you want to see—at least three. Each act has just one performer and you are the sole audience member. Oh, just one more thing—they like you to take part.
Theatrical adventures involve entering a wardrobe to find a secret room where an actor will dress you up in odd clothes, entering a 15-minute relationship or taking the chance to interrogate (询问) the actors about something.
