Pages from a forgotten diary fall from a book you buy on eBay, what do you do? ...YOU decide

Inspired by the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' phenomenon of the 1980s - Nathan Penlington's Choose Your Own Documentary tells the true story of the discovery of a long-forgotten diary and his attempts to unravel its many mysteries. Part stand-up, part film documentary and part spoken word, it's a unique and compelling interactive experience in which the audience play the most important role.

With over 1500 possible versions, and multiple endings, every performance is different. At each twist and turn it's the audience who dictate which paths the documentary takes - whether Nathan meets with success, failure, or the unexpected, depends on the choices audience members make via remote control. Where will the story lead? How will the story end? You decide.

Created and developed in collaboration with Fernando R Gutierrez De Jesus, Nick Watson and Sam Smaïl. From Tuesday 6th to Saturday 10th November 2012, the show at London's Southbank Centre, will give audiences the chance to lead Nathan on an immersive adventure and follow his obsession with finding out the truth, and the now grown-up author, behind the intriguing diary pages.

Eighteen months in the making, the search spans four continents and documents the adventure he has with the many people he meets along the way - including the octogenarian originator of Choose Your Own Adventure Edward Packard, a self-help guru, a sword-swallower, a graphologist, a seaside arcade owner, and some ghosts from his past... In addition to the shows, Nathan is offering to help people choose their way out of personal dilemmas via twitter, Facebook and email. From insignificant choices such as what to have for lunch, to bigger problems like what job to apply for, confused humans suffering from Too Much Choice have been contacting him for sage guidance based on the information they provide. The advice is given in a friendly, not a professional, capacity. And certainly isn't legally binding.
