Insist Upon A Dress Code
Having audience members dress up is the easiest way to "make them part of the narrative," Riggall says. For the Secret Cinema Prometheus event, 25,000 boiler suits were purchased, while films like Casablanca call for fedoras, victory rolls, and vintage dresses. Says Riggall, "it’s about thinking how to get the audience to build their stories, to dress up and build a character."

And, if, like us, you have a handful of party-pooper pals who turn their noses up at fancy dress, keep a stash of pound-shop masks and accessories on hand as a back-up.
