LAURA DRAKE CHAMBERS

Red Palace, Sept 2019 - Jan 2020 at The Vaults, Waterloo

Red Palace was our second immersive theatre and cabaret experience conjured from the darkest, most beguiling and magical folk tales. Hosted at the Vaults, Red Palace was a night of feast and fantasy, within a Gothic masquerade that breathes new life into our most beloved fairy tale characters. Red Palace encorporated the fairy tales that we all know and love, but as a phantasmagoria of assassins, avengers and prophetesses; music hall starlets and black market bootleggers, fabulous émigrés from beyond the Palace’s magical borders. Red Palace was a chance to live your own fairy tale ending, whilst you indulged in the delicacies of The Prince’s banquet to the sound of a ghostly orchestra, watched dancers and jesters, contortionists and buffoons as ballerinas fly through the air alongside a hefty dosage of red wine.  

Scripted by Cressida Peever and directed by Celine Lowenthal, Red Palace ran from  September 2019 to January 2020.

Divine Proportions, Sept 2018 - Jan 2019 at The Vaults, Waterloo

Our first long running production at The Vaults, Waterloo - Divine Proportions: an exploration of pleasure seeking, liberation, identity and gender fluidity through the lens of contemporary fantasy, Shotgun Carousel’s audiences were invite to strip down bare to their senses, as they enjoyed an evening of hedonistic pleasures.

Scripted by Cressida Peever, directed by Celine Lowenthal and hosted by Dionysus, it opened to 4 and 5 star reviews and ran for 17 weeks.

Reviews for Divine Proportions:

“Deliciously risqué, the sybaritic evening is an all-encompassing voyage through a world where extravagance is the norm, labels are left at the door, and everyone can be who they truly are” Broadway World

“A five course, cocktails, cabaret and hot candle wax kind of a show” Exeunt Magazine

"It’s rare to see an event of this nature that is so visibly female-led and so liberated in its attitude to sexuality, gender and what makes a good night out. This evening is unique, inspiring and about so much more than food!” W L Living
