What I liked
With a presentation reminiscent of Spalding Gray, he weaves a narrative so vivid and enthralling that one cannot help but feel a part of his initial foray into the world of immersive theatre. His delivery is both informed and passionate, a descriptive recounting of his journey, having not only lived through the experience but been irrevocably changed by it.
Meyers effectively describes his emotional shakeup, a reminder of how theatre, at its best, can be a life-altering experience, capable of providing new focus and direction.
What I didn't like
In conclusion, ‘Did I Just Join A Cult?’ is a delightful show; a heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of theatre. Passionate, engaging, and undeniably authentic, this is a show that should not be missed.
My overall impression
In the world of immersive theatre, where the line between audience and performer is often a thrilling blur, Lawrence Meyers’ one-man show, ‘Did I Just Join A Cult?’, tells us a story of his experience. Meyers’ homage to his first encounter with immersive theatre is not just a recount of events; it’s a journey through the emotional tumult and an awakening that happened as a result of his experience with ‘The Tension Experience’ by Darren Boseman.
