Kursk at the Young Vic, SE1

Sound & Fury, specialists in surround-sound claustrophobia, submerge us in the dark-lit atmosphere of a Royal Navy submarine. Inspired by the explosion on a Russian vessel in 2000, this engrossing promenade production by Mark Espiner and the sound designer Dan Jones seals us in as the crew voyages into Arctic waters, conducts discreet surveillance and deals with the emotional aftershock of the disaster, together with a tragedy closer to home. Amid pipes and walkways, we lurk like ghosts in the machine (I nestled uneasily against a nuclear torpedo). Bryony Lavery's script gets under the skin of cabin-bound men, but the piece depends on remarkable, skin-prickling sound. Ears become attuned to every click or hum, nervously registering the subsumed wash of noise. Listening on tenterhooks, I felt sick with anticipation throughout.
