Introducing Ezra Immersive, founded by Davey, a veteran creator of immersive theatre, scare attractions, and live experiences. After years of crafting unique experiences for others, Davey has launched his own company, Ezra Immersive.

Our debut production, RSVP, is a darkly comedic and immersive horror experience. It draws inspiration from The League of Gentlemen, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Resident Evil 7, the chilling nuances of British folk horror, and the nostalgia of awkward 90s birthday parties in village halls.

Expect to encounter unsettling family dynamics, peculiar comedy, escalating terror, and engaging audience interactions.

Guests are invited to what appears to be a birthday celebration for ten-year-old Tommy Crimble at an isolated village hall. However, there's a catch—Tommy is clearly much older than ten. As the party progresses, events take a bizarre turn. Participants engage in peculiar party games, the Crimble family's secrets slowly unravel, and the ambiance transitions from awkward humor to intense survival horror. Ultimately, guests may come to a startling realization: leaving the party might not be an option at all.
Dates
We are aiming to do 3 weekends of shows throughout October depending on ticket sales.
These dates would be 16th,17th,23rd,25th,30th and 31st of October.
There would be a full paid day rehearsal before the 16th.
The exact location is a secret, but it will be in West Sussex in the Horsham area.
