About the play
The Speakeasy is an immersive theatrical experience that transports audience members back in time to the Roarin’ 1920s. Full of secret passageways and hidden rooms throughout a prohibition era club, guests are free to explore a decadent nightclub from a bygone era featuring: two Bars, a Vaudeville Cabaret, a vintage Casino, a Dressing Room – where a one-way mirror allows audience members to view voyeuristic moments – plus the gangster bosses office!
