Ever fancied pretending you were among the few survivors of a horrific disaster that had forced everybody underground? If you have, or if you love depictions of dystopian futures alongside inspired and physically engaging art then Tunnel 228 could have been made for you. If the project's parents (Punch Drunk and The Old Vic) wanted to make this experience nigh-on impossible to find out about then they succeeded. The hunt for information takes you through a maze of search engines and cover-sites, designed to make the whole thing more mysterious.
Tickets for the coming exhibition were snapped up within 24 hours of becoming available, but there are plans to stage it again this autumn. If you were lucky enough to get hold of a pass this time around you could expect to don a mask and travel down into the tunnels underneath Waterloo station, where faceless drones would wander about amongst the art installations. Creepy? Yes. A place to go when you're stoned? No.
