Quarantine | Dark Tales of Disease at Sea

Join us after-hours at the National Maritime Museum for an atmospheric site-specific experience from award-winning theatre makers SPECIFIQ.

Discover the unsettling history of maritime quarantine as you move through galleries after-dark; feel the tension rise as the quarantine zone closes in around you; witness thrilling accounts of plagues and pestilence, learn about the controversial measures taken to control them, and ultimately test your own morals with a real-world quarantine scenario.

Audiences are invited to enjoy a free tot of rum before the show begins - for purely medicinal purposes, of course. The show involves some walking and standing - comfortable shoes recommended.

Limited capacity - book early to avoid missing out!
