As we played our game, the group of drinkers would periodically make comments and critique our gameplay. This, in turn, caused us to disregard them and see them as nuisances. We continued playing our game, and the oldest among our group started to cheat. “You're making up rules as you go, you cheater!”, I yelled out. He then realised that my assumption was fallacious and denounced me. We both angered each other and the once agitated game was played in utter silence.

They sent their youngest member. Standing at around 5 feet 9 clothed in blue jeans and a blue chemise.
Punch-drunk is a British company that performs a wide variety of theatrical performances and transforms them into the wild and the peculiar. It was founded in 2000 (En.wikipedia.org. (2017) by Artist and Director Felix Barrett, who was award an MBE on July 5th 2017 for his work in the theatre industry (Anon, (2017).

The stories are then turned into real-life pieces that are not staged in a typical classical theatre, but in various locations that are well-suited to each part of the story for example, an old warehouse or an ancient asylum.

(2017). This keeps the audience on edge and scares ordinary audiences away from Punch-drunk as the work that they produce is regarded as “out of the ordinary “by most classical theatre audiences. Some of the parts of the story contains physical theatre (Punch-drunk (2017). making the performance non-naturalistic and naturalistic, simultaneously.
