About Viola's Room

An audio-driven journey through a moonlit fever dream.

Barefoot and wearing headphones audiences make their way through a labyrinthine installation as an unseen narrator reveals a story of innocence lost and obsession unleashed.

Written by Booker Prize-shortlisted Daisy Johnson, and narrated by Helena Bonham-Carter, Viola’s Room reimagines a classic gothic mystery for a new audience. It distils two decades of Punchdrunk’s immersive practice in to an intimate sensory adventure that promises to infuse the dreams of anyone who dares to follow the light.
