The nights are long, the weather is grey, the wind is cold, and Londoners are heading underground. But rather than hibernating from the miserable weather, there is something rather more exciting drawing people in to the depths of the city’s hidden caverns.
The Vault Festival returns on January 28, offering an exciting array of performances from theatre to dance to circus, all set within the hidden labyrinth of tunnels below Waterloo. It is here that Festival headliner Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, adapted as a play and directed by Lou Stein, will be residing for the duration of the festival, promising to be an acid-trip delight where the audience are immersed in the action. Fear and Loathing, written by Hunter S. Thompson, is both a classic road-trip narrative and a mind-altering storm of gonzo journalism that has become a staple of American literature.
