Description
Surrender yourself to a comedy-thriller experience inspired by the classic game of deception. What feels like a game by daylight takes on new life when plunged into the night. Created by one of New Zealand's most innovative theatre companies, Werewolf features chilling sound design and a unique immersive style; you can be a fly on the wall or take charge of the situation. However you decide to play it, you will become part of a community coming together to make it through the night. But what is hiding in the darkness that is making everyone so nervous?Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

5 stars for this really cool idea! I enjoyed the implementation too, and the audience interaction added some great suspense. Only thing that left me a tad bit disappointed is that considering how much fun the game Werewolf is, the storyline here felt a bit uneventful at times. But I would love to see this talented team take this idea further in the future!

Fab. I have never been to a show like this before. I was surprised to discover how much fun it was to get locked in a room for '7 days/nights' with a potential werewolf. I recommend this show. Brilliant. Five stars.

Absolutely fantastic experience, and well recommended to those who enjoy their audience participation or role playing. The whole show is very intense and delivers a unique experience to everyone, as your seating choice affects your role in the show. I got so carried away with my own personal instructions that my heart was pounding at one point, while other audience members took part so much that I thought they were cast members. The actual cast members do an excellent job reacting to the audience, and lead us through a gripping story.
I loved this so much.

I wasn’t quite sure how they were going to incorporate Werewolf into more of a theater play setting, but this was a delightful and genuinely horror-laden experience. You’ll have opportunities for interaction and it's best enjoyed if you can help lift the performers themselves with your participation. If you enjoy audience interaction and some good horror, you should go to Werewolf!

Classic Edinburgh fringe show. Loved it. So much fun. We were a pretty wild audience and really got into character. Great job from production team as fun concept well delivered.

A full-audience-participation staged/improv version of the "Werewolf" parlor game, augmented with light and sound effects. More funny than scary. A hoot! Five stars.

Perfectly situated experience for the location of this imaginary story. The well performed characters quickly make you feel part of the events, regardless of how big or small your given 'role' will be. If you enter the space with curiosity and open imagination, this will be a crazy fun ride for you. I'm sure I will be talking about this play for a while!
Highly recommended!
(Not for those who can get scared easily or those who can get overstimulated quickly)

An absolute gem! I was recommended this by a friend who knows I love Werewolf and was wondering how a show inspired by the game would do - I won't spoil it but it was above my expectations, the actors were brilliant and it was really fun to be involved in some way (that part depends a lot of how you want to play it, so no stress if you're shy). I'll be recommending it to all my friends!
