Punchdrunk has released new images of The Burnt City as the show enters its final eight weeks. Following a record-breaking eighteen months in London, the final performance of Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City will be held on 24 September 2023.

Opening in March 2022, the production has sold over 200,000 tickets. By the time it closes, the show will be the longest running mask show that the company has presented in London.
Over 600 people have worked on the show, making it the largest project in Punchdrunk’s history. The epic retelling of the end of the Trojan war, set between the neon-drenched backstreets of downtown Troy and the menacing but opulent shadow of Greece, is played out across two vast warehouse buildings. Part of the old Woolwich Arsenal, these buildings provide Punchdrunk with its first permanent home in London.

The BFI London Film Festival 2021 has named Panah Panahi’s Hit The Road as its best film of the competition. Panahi’s debut film covers the drama in the chaotic claustrophobia of a car, as an energetic child (Rayan Sarlak) clambers over his surly father (Hassan Madjooni), whose broken leg – and mood – take up considerable space. In the front, mother (Pantea Panahiha) fusses over her other son in the driver’s seat (Amin Simiar), whose sullen face stays fixed on the deserted horizon. Nobody mentions where they are going, but knowledge of their unspoken destination causes concern, turning despair into affection and some very eccentric behavior. Add in a soundtrack of 1970s Iranian pop as the cherry on the cake. The films in the competition explore a fascinating breadth of themes, from cave mapping in the Calabrian mountains to the military dictatorship in 1980s Buenos Aires, playground politics through the...

How will the stories connect in the first season of The Third Day TV show on HBO? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like The Third Day is cancelled or renewed for season two (in this case it seems to be a true mini-series). Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of The Third Man here. *Status update below.

HBO has promoted The Third Day as a "limited series" with a set number of episodes but, in this case, it appears that the show is a true "mini-series," with a set ending. Still, if there's enough viewer interest, perhaps The Third Day could be renewed for a second season anyway, possibly with new characters and a different story. Stay tuned. *Status update below.

The Jude Law-led HBO limited series “The Third Day” did something different to keep fans engaged as they wait for new episodes: a 12-hour live event.
“Autumn,” which ran on Facebook on Saturday, falls between “The Third Day” two parts. The first three episodes are considered the “Summer” section of the series. Those episodes have already aired and they serve as both the lead in for the “Autumn” episode as well as the limited series final three episodes, titled “Winter.”
And it really was 12 hours long, and yes, live. That’s a big time commitment to ask from viewers, but as co-star Katherine Waterston told TheWrap’s Steve Pond last week, they made an effort to make that commitment worth it.
“There will be all kinds of little Easter eggs for people to look for there, if they can stay awake for 12 hours and watch the whole thing,” she said.

If you’ve been watching HBO’s latest limited series “The Third Day,” then you’ve undoubtedly heard talk of a very special upcoming festival. The show’s lead, Sam (Jude Law), may have stumbled upon the island by accident, but everyone else — from his visiting bunkmate, Jess (Katherine Waterston), to the oddball locals Mr. and Mrs. Martin (Paddy Considine and Emily Watson) — are busy preparing for Osea’s annual autumnal celebration. Travelers come from far and wide to stay at the inn or camp out under the stars, dance around bonfires and consume untoward amounts of ale (among other things), all to honor the island’s ancient cultures.
Think of it like Burning Man, but for history buffs. Or “Midsommar”-lite.
Best of all, rather than merely watch the festival in the background of another episode, fans will be able to take part in an immersive live event dedicated to the music festival itself.

Having spent the last two decades pioneering what has become known as “immersive” theater, in which audiences are allowed to explore vast buildings as the drama plays out around them, Brit theater company Punchdrunk — best known in the U.S. for the show Sleep No More — has set its sights on a new medium.

This spoiler-free review is based on the first two episodes.
There’s a Woody the Woodpecker cartoon where Woody starts to fall from a height, then double takes, flaps his wings and soars into the sky saying, ‘Hey! I forgot I was a bird!’
Every so often, TV pulls the same trick. It goes along, airing detective shows and cooking shows and superhero shows and property programmes, falling, falling, falling… and then it suddenly remembers, ‘Hey! I forgot I was Television! I’m a box of mad, uncontainable dream magic conjured by imagination wizards who send stories through the air! Hop it, Gregg Wallace. I’ve got flying to do.’
And then it airs something like The Third Day, which is untethered by genre or tradition or a trackable plot, and unlike anything you’ve seen on television for a long, long time.

The fascinations of Dennis Kelly are worth paying attention to. A decade ago, the playwright and screenwriter was kept up at night by the looming shadow of overpopulation and global resource scarcity. He channelled that concern into Channel 4’s Utopia, a global pandemic conspiracy thriller that in 2020, could hardly be more timely.
Before that, Kelly’s plays were preoccupied with the suspicion of outsiders fostered by the so-called War on Terror, from which you might draw a straight line to Brexit and Trump. You could call his work a barometer for crisis, pointing audiences towards the thing we need to worry about next.
Kelly’s latest project, he tells Den of Geek, was driven by a need to explore the reality-distorting effects of grief, and concern about growing isolationism. The Third Day starts as the story of Sam (Jude Law), a man sucked into the mysterious ways of a strange British island.

Among an impressive list of U.K. projects to debut at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival, two of the most high-profile are TV dramas — underscoring how British scripted series are now rivalling the country’s proud tradition for indie cinema in terms of creativity, and — some might argue — even eclipsing it.
Psychological thriller “The Third Day” stars Jude Law and Naomi Harris, and is set on a mysterious British Island. With backing by HBO and Sky, the inventive six-parter is created by Felix Barrett, the founder and artistic director of renowned theater group Punchdrunk, and Dennis Kelly, the writer of “Matilda the Musical” and cult TV show “Utopia.”
Meanwhile, BBC-backed “A Suitable Boy” sees “Monsoon Wedding” and “The Namesake” director Mira Nair make her television debut with the adaptation of Vikram Seth’s classic novel set in 1950s India. Adapted by Andrew Davies, the doyen of period TV drama, “A Suitable Boy...

The tide of symbolism in “The Third Day,” HBO’s new limited series, rises high enough to threaten to swamp the show. But two urgently compelling central performances keep viewers afloat all the same.
The six-part series is broken into two halves but united by setting: A surreal island called Osea somewhere in the United Kingdom, one governed by ritual and a sort of magic, surrounded by choppy and threatening seas and accessible only by narrow causeway. That it feels like the end of the world is rather the point. In the first three episodes, Jude Law’s character finds himself there in the midst of an escape from the problems of his life, and soon finds that the island and the annihilating threat it poses has indeed become the problem of his life. In the show’s back half, Naomie Harris’ character and her two daughters (Charlotte Gairdner-Mihell and...

HBO shared a new trailer for its Jude Law, Naomie Harris limited series “The Third Day” on Friday.
Created by “Utopia” writer Dennis Kelly and Felix Barrett, the six-episode series takes place on a mysterious island off the British coast inhabited by a group of islanders set on preserving their traditions at any cost. The series, premiering Monday, Sept. 14, comprises two halves of three episodes each. The first three, “Summer,” star Law, while the final three, “Winter,” are led by Harris.
Law plays Sam, a man who is drawn to the island until he finds he is unable to leave the idyllic and dangerously enchanting world he has discovered, where the secretive rituals of its inhabitants bring him to grapple with experiences of loss and trauma hidden in his past through the distorted lens of the present.

The Third Day represents an intriguingly original storytelling style for an HBO offering. Indeed, the six-part limited series is headlined by Jude Law and Naomie Harris… each of whom won’t likely share the screen, since the series is divided into two halves, each centering on their respective characters during different times. Additionally, one episode will showcase an interactive element.
Dennis Kelly, creator of the acclaimed U.K. sci-fi series, Utopia (which he’s currently remaking as a U.S. Amazon series), co-created the series with Felix Barrett. Set on a mysterious island off the English coast, the show bears a deliberately ambiguous mystery-box-esque plot filled with creepy small-town/cultish characters evocative of Midsommar or The Wicker Man.
In the latest news, The Third Day has just landed an HBO release date, which had been a mystery unto itself after a lengthy Covid delay.

Punchdrunk, the UK immersive theater company behind popular event Sleep No More and the planned accompanying experience to Sky/HBO’s Jude Law series The Third Day, is embarking on a new endeavor with Pokemon Go creators Niantic.
The two companies will develop new experiences that will combine live interactive entertainment and augmented reality (Ar). They say they are in development on several properties that will be original experiences not linked to previous productions.
Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More, loosely based on Macbeth, was first staged in 2003 in London and eventually ran in Boston, New York and Shanghai. It allowed audiences to be immersed in a live theatrical performance, placing them among the actors in a series of dressed up rooms.
