This performance takes place at Malmaison Manchester Piccadilly.

I Do peels back the layers of love, family, and chaos in the final ten minutes before a wedding.

Step into six rooms of a working hotel, each a jigsaw piece revealing a different view of the same tense moment in time. The best man’s last-minute speech is floundering, the bride’s caught between nerves and expectation, and family secrets ripple beneath the surface.

Split into small groups, you’ll move between rooms, following intimate, overlapping stories - from old flames to hidden pregnancy tests. Audience members become voyeurs in a fully immersive experience where every glance, touch, and whispered secret counts.

Dante or Die invites you to be a guest at the beautifully messy build-up to ‘I do’ - where love and havoc collide in an unforgettable theatrical event.
