ARCHIVE INTERVIEW: SHUNT COLLECTIVE. A decade has passed since the Shunt Vaults shut up shop to make way for the new London Bridge station. Before it opened its doors, critic Dominic Cavendish got a sneak preview of the space with the company’s founding member David Rosenberg. They discuss the possibilities of large-scale immersive theatre and look back over Shunt’s early work, including Dance Bear Dance and the Tennis Show. Recorded at the Shunt Vaults, 2004.
