The Time Portal by Stella Artois Takes You Back to Victorian London in Search of the First Wimbledon
Stella Artois creates an immersive theatre experience with
acclaimed theatre companies Olivier Award nominated Les Enfants Terribles and
Framestore, to take audiences back to a time when Wimbledon was just getting
started.
Date: 7th – 10th July 2016
Where: MC Motors, 76
Stoke Newington Rd, London N16 7XB
Under an unmissable cinema sign on Stoke Newington Road in
Dalston, stands an unassuming bar. Within, a mysterious Time Portal links back
to Victorian London. And you are inside. You are a spectator, but also the key
to influencing the future.
This July, Stella Artois - the Official Beer of Wimbledon –
is creating an immersive theatre experience celebrating the humble beginnings
of the two brands and the characters behind these legacies. Taking audiences
through The Time Portal, into Victorian London, they will experience a time
when both Wimbledon and Stella Artois were only just starting out, and their
success was still not assured.
Bursting with an alluring cast of Victorian characters and
one-to-one interactions, The Time Portal will place audience members at the
centre of the performance, by involving them in a cinematic adventure from a
modest looking bar through to the smoggy streets of London, guided by a
mysterious character who is determined to take them to a little known tennis
tournament that is just starting out. At the same time, we also encounter the
founder of a little known beer brand that is also passionately trying to make a
name for itself in Victorian London.
Commissioned by Stella Artois and drawing on the creative
expertise of acclaimed immersive theatre companies Les Enfants Terribles – who
created the hugely popular Alice's Adventures Underground, and Framestore - the
creative studio behind the Oscar® winning film Gravity, the experience is a
heady adventure through time that will immerse its audience into a world where
two world famous brands are making their way up, thanks to the determination of
two risk-takers.
The return into a sophisticated bar in the present day will
show just how far both brands have come thanks to these entrepreneurs, where you'll
be able to savour the now famous Stella Artois and take in the 130th Wimbledon
in style, and watch new names make their mark on the world.
Filled with intriguing and unexpected moments, The Time
Portal is a unique experience that will inspire its audience to consider how
they will make their own mark by showing that we all have to start somewhere.

The Time Portal will run from 7th July to 10th July with
over 30 slots of 20 guests per day – running from 12.00pm to 9.40pm.
