I could even say that’s a core part of my upcoming book on immersive experiences.
Before Sleep No More there was Tamara; before Tamara there was environmental theatre; before environmental theatre there were directors like Okhlopkov and Piscator and Evreinov.
Before them, modern pageants, re-enactments, before them, masques; and further back to Robin Hood games and mystery plays and tournaments, and back still beyond the scope of my book to Ancient Greece and Egypt, and on and on.

And in between, everything! Happenings, ren faires, the SCA, human exhibitions, living history museums, dinner theatre… Nothing is new and everything is new. But it doesn’t hurt to know your history.
