PUNCHDRUNK 2 x Senior Producers - (Senior Producer; and Senior Producer, International Projects & Business Development) Founded in 2000 by Felix Barrett, Punchdrunk has pioneered a game-changing form of theatre which places the audience at the very heart of the action. Recently listed amongst the 50 most influential artists of the last 50 years (Sky Arts, 2022) alongside Bowie, Sir Steve McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, Punchdrunk disrupts the theatrical norm, creating worlds in which audiences can rediscover the childlike excitement of exploring the unknown. Its iconic "mask" shows, which redefined the genre of immersive experiences, have been cited amongst the 40 creative moments that changed culture (Creative Review), and have found phenomenal success across the globe, with record-breaking productions established in the US, UK, China and South Korea. Sleep No More in New York played to sell out audiences for 14 years from 2011 until its final performance in 2025, and in Shanghai the show has been running since 2016, becoming the longest running immersive production in the city's history. In 2025, the internationally acclaimed experience also opened its newest edition in Seoul, South Korea. The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable broke the National Theatre's box office records when it went on sale in 2013. Punchdrunk's 2022 London production, The Burnt City, became the company's longest-running show in its home city, coinciding with the opening of its first permanent venue at 1 Cartridge Place in Woolwich. In 2024, Viola's Room debuted in Woolwich, marking a bold shift from Punchdrunk's signature mask performances. This intimate, barefoot sensory experience distilled two decades of the company's immersive expertise, using binaural sound to create a deeply personal journey. It transferred to The Shed, New York in Spring 2025. In Autumn 2025, Punchdrunk launched a new live experience titled Lander 23, a live action video game-style immersive experience that merges the company's theatre practice with genuine game mechanics. Alongside these landmark live theatrical experiences, Punchdrunk has taken its ground-breaking approach to cross-cultural collaborations in music, tech, fashion and TV: from projects with Rihanna to Jack White, Louis Vuitton to Alexander McQueen, and HBO to Brad Pitt's Plan B Studios - most recently with TV series The Third Day, starring Jude Law, Naomie Harris, Katherine Waterston, Emily Watson and Paddy Considine which included the Bafta-nominated live event: The Third Day: Autumn: a 12-hour live episode, filmed in one continuous take.
