“Neverwhere oozes spectacle, sometimes literally, and transports audiences into a world all its own, yet familiar enough to Gaiman fans. If you want a ticket to fantastical London Below, that ticket will read “Neverwhere, presented by Rorschach Theatre.” – DC Theatre Scene
When Richard Mayhew stumbles upon an injured young woman on the streets of London, he has no idea that he has also stumbled upon the fantastical world of London Below. Sucked into a world of monsters, tricksters, beasts and angels, Richard learns that life is far more interesting than you can imagine … if you just know where to look. Neil Gaiman’s heralded cult-classic novel returns to Rorschach Theatre in a vivid immersive experience.
