Gaming meets theatre in an interactive comedy fantasy quest adventure!
Luna Attic Productions presents
Roll for Initiative: The Wizard’s Tower
Newcastle Dance City
Thursday 25th July 2024
After a successful run at the 2023 Newcastle Fringe Festival, then followed by multiple sell-out shows at Alphabetti Theatre, Roll for Initiative are back with their fantasy-quest inspired show The Wizard’s Tower!
Roll for Initiative is an interactive performance combining theatre with popular role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. It is an interactive show blending theatre, improvisation, and interactive gaming into live playable audience experiences where no two shows are the same. Roll for Initiative is created largely by the audience for the performers to act out in a choose-your-own-adventure style theatrical experience; from creating the characters, building the locations, and rolling the giant 20 sided dice to determine the outcome of events.
The Wizard’s Tower is Roll for Initiative’s debut show, taking inspiration from the fantasy genre in a comedy quest adventure. Starting in a tavern, the audience is guided through the show by the Quest Master (who facilitates the show); from the creation of the Heroes through to the quest they will tackle and the creatures they’ll meet along the way, culminating in a final boss battle in The Wizard’s Tower. How our heroes reach the tower and what happens en-route is all completely down to the audience interactions, suggestions, and the rolls of our giant 20-sided dice.
The show is produced by Luna Attic Productions, the creative space for actor/director Michelle Bayly. Michelle’s work draws upon her passion for bringing communities together, collaboration, creating magical stories, and thinking of new ways to engage a wide range of audiences to enjoy a variety of productions. Post pandemic, Michelle wanted to create a live interactive show, mixing theatre and gaming together. Recognising the wish for audiences to feel more actively involved during shows, and seeing an ever increasing gaming and tabletop fan base, Roll for Initiative was born.
The Roll for Initiative team is made up of a team of actors, musicians, comedians, improvisers, and directors: Graham Oakes, Hazel Dixon, Liam Scarth, Michelle Bayly, Helen Doyle, Jake Wilson Craw, Lewis Black, Michael Curry, Adam Harrison and Casey Railton.
