The Nutcracker Noir is a bold reimagining of the classic Christmas tale: a darkly decadent immersive theatre and dining experience set in the heart of Shoreditch. Guests journey through fantastical rooms, meet eccentric characters, and enjoy a three-course gourmet feast as part of the live performance.

Nutcracker Noir is brought to you by an award-winning creative team including Richard Crawford (Secret Theatre), west end choreographer Gary Lloyd (Thriller Live), Feast + Fable’s / Fat Duck’s Jenny McNeill, and the experiential visionaries at DesignScene. Meet the full creative team here.

The experience takes place at Protein Studios, 31 New Inn Yard, Shoreditch, London, EC2A 3EY.

We’re live for a strictly limited run from 25 November to 21 December 2025, with two performances daily.
