Malthouse Theatre has pioneered a new form of ‘choose your own adventure’ immersive theatre in Australia, taking video game mechanics — such as sandbox worlds, puzzle solving, non-linear storytelling, and player cause and effect — and blended them with a high-end, audience-led immersive theatre experience. First developed in Because the Night in 2021 – which was labelled Melbourne’s ‘must-see theatre experience’ by Time Out Melbourne – Malthouse’s next production Hour of the Wolf takes this form further, integrating responsive audio technology and puzzle solving into a contemporary narrative with an innovative story structure.

In the lead-up to Hour of the Wolf’s 19 October premiere, join the work’s co-Creator and director Matthew Lutton, and interactive dramaturg David Harris for a panel discussion and audience Q&A about the development and design process of embedding game elements into large-scale immersive theatre work. The discuss will be hosted by Terry Burdak of Paper House.

Presented by Malthouse Theatre
