Theatre review An exasperating foray into the internet's 'arkive'

The disused warehouse given over to this immersive production was once a storehouse for newspapers (Rupert Murdoch's, in fact). So it is well suited to the show's central concern, the archiving of words, though the fictive "arkive" stored here is for every single digital expression since the inception of the internet in 1983.

It is impressively gargantuan, with rooms as big as aeroplane hangars. Within them are tight tunnels made of wicker or white padded material, the latter reminiscent of Punchdrunk's Viola's Room.

Conceived by Liana Patarkatsishvili and produced by Sage & Jester, Storehouse is grand in ambition and immaculately conceived in design, with an intricately created lexicon, too.

The backstory is that a now dead company boss came up with a global project to record every online message, meme and utterance in the hope of building the formation of a greater truth - a "Truthtopia" - in the world above this alternative underground realm.

Except that this archiving process, named "the great aggregation", has missed its deadline for the revelation of truth.
