I Do peels back the layers of love, family, and chaos in the final ten minutes before a wedding.
Step into six rooms of a working hotel, each a jigsaw piece revealing a different view of the same tense moment in time. The best man’s last-minute speech is floundering, the bride’s caught between nerves and expectation, and family secrets ripple beneath the surface.
Split into small groups, you’ll move between rooms, following intimate, overlapping stories - from old flames to hidden pregnancy tests. Audience members become voyeurs in a fully immersive experience where every glance, touch, and whispered secret counts.
Dante or Die invites you to be a guest at the beautifully messy build-up to ‘I do’ - where love and havoc collide in an unforgettable theatrical event.
………………………………….

For each performance of I Do, audiences experience the story in small groups moving through different rooms. We can’t guarantee you’ll be with your party - but that’s part of the fun! We encourage you to explore separately for a more surprising, personal experience of the show.
All shows are captioned. Please note that if you require the captions please let us know as you will need to be placed in a specific group.
………………………………….
We are delighted to be partnering with Malmaison Reading to present this special show.If you would like to make your experience even more special why not stay and / or dine with them!
