Sensory Theatre in London

After talking about the importance of our senses in theatre the other day, I remembered stumbling upon this really interesting venue.  The Old Vic Tunnels beneath Waterloo Station in London has become a new and interesting place to put on theatre, performances, exhibitions, etc.  The tunnels used to be part of the British Rail and are now an innovative venue.  I love the combination of the environment, senses, technology, location, and just the overall experience that audiences and spectators participate in.  I find it to be a pretty cool example of how theatre is progressing!  Take a look at some of the videos and the websites below-- they're really interesting!
