00:00Welcome, everyone, to chapter one of Once Upon a Nightmare.
00:04I am your fairy godmother, but beware,
00:07this realm has been ensnared by twists unknown and fates darkened.
00:13Here, fairy tales you once cherished have been changed
00:17by the darkness that seeps within their fairy tale cracks.
00:21My name's Jason Turber, I am the Breeze team manager,
00:24and we produce and curate the Halloween event here at Lotherton Hall.
00:29You will find here tonight an immersive theatre experience
00:34really around the twisted nightmare fairy tales
00:38that will be throughout the estate,
00:41starting in the back car park and running all the way through.
00:45You'll see a number of actors that will be in character
00:49from Rumpelstiltskin, the Wicked Witch, Hansel and Gretel.
00:54Welcome to my kingdom.
00:57I hope you're going to be brave enough to venture to come and see me.
01:01The more the merrier, I say.
01:04Come and enjoy my cursed kingdom.
01:19Our target audience is really sort of that 8 to 15 market,
01:23so maybe your first family scare that's maybe not wanting to,
01:27you know, maybe the kids are too old for trick-or-treating,
01:30but maybe not old enough to go and be scared with chainsaws.
01:33Just walking through the woods here in the dark on a night
01:36is pretty scary on its own, really,
01:38to then adding some characters and some eerie sounds
01:42and also the sort of fog and the smoke,
01:45and it's a really immersive experience for families.
01:48Just follow the elaborate road back to where you belong,
01:51but be careful.
01:53Home may be waiting,
01:55or maybe...
01:57it's not.
