Abstract
This article responds to Stella Artois Black’s recent hiring of Punchdrunk members for their ‘immersive’ theatre marketing venture The Black Diamond (Scene 1). What happens to immersive theatre when product placement enters its world? And what happens to the product having entered the world of immersive theatre? These questions are addressed in relation to Arts Council England funding policy and Punchdrunk’s award of a significant rise in ACE funding. Balancing ACE’s framework for ‘sustainable’ art against the threat of ‘selling out’ to commercial interests, a critical approach is proposed that addresses how audiences might assume partial responsibility for recognising and responding to the control of art production at the institutional level. With tongue only half in cheek, drunkenness is explored in relation to product placement as a means to this end.
