The Droves

The Droves was an immersive theatre show, designed by kids, for Adults

You’re invited into a secret community of children living deep beneath a derelict carpet factory. For decades they’ve hidden from adults, growing strange in the darkness – but now they’re asking you in… Unsettling dilemmas, mushroom forests and at least one gorilla await you at the door.

Part immersive experience, part escape game, BAFTA award winning company Coney present the imaginations of 6-11 year olds as they take over their own site in London Bridge for this unique theatrical event.

The Droves was the first production of The Young Coneys, a group of young people you can see more about here

When children are allowed to be theatremakers they’re empowered in a totally different way… If today’s six year-olds are making immersive site-specific shows, who knows what they’ll start making in 20 years time?

Coney have created a piece that has the giggly, energetically creative air of a game of make-believe. It feels fresh and new even where the format isn’t […] immersive theatre done mercifully right.

More than anything, the show is about [the children]: the three year process, the progress from concept to performance, and the distillation of two and a half years’ worth of young people’s strange imaginings into this gleeful piece.
