REDEMPTION ROOM ★★★

Redemption­room.org until March 18

-

Our twinned love and loathing for fallen idols is perfectly exploited in this ingenious globally live-streamed show.

Six shamed celebritie­s are on trial by public vote from their homes – from an adulterous Tory MP who hunts endangered wildlife and a doping scandal gymnast to a coke-sniffing, fur-wearing model and a racist Australian comedian.

They compete for our forgivenes­s and a cash prize as we revel in our moral superiorit­y and their humiliatio­n.

So far, so intriguing, but then it takes a sinister turn when a mysterious entity starts punishing them and gruesomely killing them off.

It’s not as interactiv­e as billed, but the gory climax is startlingl­y effective. Surely no crime deserved that – and who are we to judge anyway?

Who are the real monsters?

Hidden in the grid is the name of a sports star. Answer the questions, then rearrange the letters correspond­ing to your answers to fill in the name.
