at the Hotel reception two by two and journey along the corridors and
into the bedrooms to piece together the clues and uncover what makes
the hotel tick.

by a Wellcome Trust Arts Award, Arts Council England, Birmingham City Council & The Sir Barry Jackson Trust. Supported by Contact Theatre, CPT & mac.
