Much as I like to see myself as an anarchist anti-capitalist - more likely to be spotted seeking out Live Art in dusty basements that shopping in the swish part of Edinburgh - I can't resist this cheeky alliance of immersive theatre, Harvey Nichols, childhood fun aimed at adults, and chocolate.
First adult-only immersive theatre egg hunt experience in a live department store, sees Baileys Chocolat Luxe reclaim Easter for adults
Where: Harvey Nichols, 109-125 Knightsbridge, London, SW1X 7RJ
When: Saturday 19th April 2014
Time: 12pm – 9pm with nine performances throughout the day
Price: £25(over 18’s only, I.D. required)
The ticket will include the immersive theatre experience, a six-course feast and the Baileys Chocolat Luxe Easter Egg.
The original production by the critically acclaimed Theatre Souk collaborators, The salon:collective, will be a monument to the golden age of the Châteaux de Versailles and Marie Antoinette, with royalty, subjects and courtiers on their own individual journeys to find the luxurious egg.
Baileys take on the immersive theatre phenomenon will be the first time a theatre performance has taken place concurrently whilst members of the public will be doing their Saturday shopping.
Baileys Feaster Egg Hunt is an extraordinary adult-only immersive theatrical adventure and Easter egg hunt - a unique personal journey to find the ultimate Easter egg indulgence.
It will see the 21st century setting of the Knightsbridge space transported back in time, to the graceful elegance and artistry of the 18th century Rococo movement.

I am never sure about the Rococo. When I was a wild young punk, it seemed like the kitsch death of the baroque: everything was a bit much, frankly. Nowadays, it feels like an elegant precursor of electro-clash post-modernism, and has a wry humour that mocks itself in its own ostentation.

I disagree here: that time I recited bits of Uncle Vanya at the Tesco counter must have been the first consumer-immersive crossover.
The curtain falls on the production as the audience finds their objet d'art - the Baileys Chocolat Luxe Easter Egg, a luxury, adult-only chocolate version of egg and soldiers created by master chocolatier Lucie Bennett.
The limited edition hand painted luxury Belgian chocolate hen-sized egg has a creamy Baileys Chocolat Luxe ganache core, mirroring the yoke of a soft-boiled egg. It will be served as a ritual with toasted chocolate brioche soldiers and a serving of Baileys Chocolat Luxe for those that find all the clues.
By finding the egg, the audience will also unlock a six-course feast created by the Chiappa Sisters.
