Why should you go to experience the ‘War of the Worlds’ immersive experience in Piccadilly circus?
By Eve Ward
This ‘War of the Worlds’ experience is special for an abundance of different reasons, including the incredible actors who really make it surreal for the participant(s), the amazing set, which was realistic to what the book described, and the trippy VR headset experience, which you are able to experience at 3 points during the show. I particularly loved this immersive experience because of how representational the costumes were, and the plot line which was slightly adapted to enhance the narrative.
I think that this experience is particularly relevant for anybody who is currently studying the book ‘War of the Worlds’ for their English GCSE. It may be more meaningful and relevant for them. Nevertheless, if you have never read the book before, or never even heard of the title ‘War of the Worlds’, the experience is very inclusive, explaining every step of the way carefully, meaning that you will never feel lost.
