Both in Britain and America, huge publicity has been given to stem cells, particularly embryonic stem cells, and the potential they offer.

If you want to get into the shoes of someone, it's not just about seeing and hearing. It is also about what you touch and what you smell. Smell is so specific and so powerful. And this is the beauty of immersive theatre - it's something you cannot get in any other art form. I think this is the real future for theatre.
