Kate Bond, co-creator and co-director of You Me Bum Bum Train, turned immersive theater into a full-body, full-heart experience. Based in London, she and co-creator Morgan Lloyd built a surreal, participatory thrill ride that’s earned 5-star reviews from outlets like The Times and The Independent and racked up an Olivier nomination and a Samuel Beckett Award. Thousands of volunteers power the production, guiding individual audience members (or “Passengers”) through an unpredictable journey that can feel more like a dreamscape than a stage show. The impact hits beyond the curtain, with over £500,000 raised for War Child and a legacy of life-changing moments shared by fans and performers alike. As for the details of the experience, it's all very hush-hush, so you'll have to wait for the next train to depart.
