Under The Hammer

A painting by Johannes Vermeer is going Under The Hammer at a high-value art auction, overseen by top-secret art detective agency the Company of International Artists. Your contacts are Agents Kahlo and Dali. But wait… mysterious intel suggests that all is not right. The game is afoot!

Can you crack the case?

Keep an eye on the details and read between the lines in this fine blend of theatre and improv, escape room and “who-dunnit”, inspired by real-world art crime cases!
As a recruit of the Company of International Artists, you’ll need to tackle puzzles, decipher codes and review key evidence to solve a case of art forgery before the culprit evades justice!

Don't forget to don your best trench coat, deerstalker or artist smock for the occasion - attendees are welcome (but not obliged) to come dressed as their favourite detective, a famous artist or a completely original sleuth persona...

A unique immersive experience by multi-award-winning theatre company Brave Bold Drama.

Under The Hammer will take place in the Bristol Improv Theatre’s fully stocked speak-easy-style bar, with cocktails, hot drinks, soft drinks, draught beers and cider, and snacks all available throughout the experience.
