Production states: "The vanguard of interactive theatre since its inception in 2011. Delusion is a moving play where small groups play their part in a haunting and otherworldly tale set within a unique venue. Live interaction with actors, stunt people, practical and digital fx, and an original score all help weave together an experience unlike any other. Delusion has set the standard for this exciting and emerging medium."

Daniel: Lead, Male, 18-30
thin; reborn Hollows member, achieving the gift after taking his own life. Yet, the gift is not quite the gift he was hoping for. This gaunt, young man, is found literally starved to death.

One part hippie, two parts Hollows cultist. Naive and indoctrinated. Pregnant from a fellow cultist. Believes she’s carrying “the child of god”… or some nonsense. Oddly cheerful in such a disturbing state of affairs.
