Headline: RAW VIDEO: 'The Unknown' From Glasgow's Willy Wonka Experience Gets London Dungeon Job
Caption: The London Dungeon has hired the teenage actress who became a star by playing ‘The Unknown’ at the virally disastrous Willy’s Chocolate Experience. Felicia, 16, earned fame in her very first acting job starring as an evil rival chocolatemaker to Willy Wonka who “lives in the walls”. The event, held in Glasgow last month (Feb2024) earned notoriety thanks to children and parents’ disappointment at a day out that promised an immersive experience based on Roald Dahl’s beloved character. Instead, actors were left reading a bizarre AI-generated script featuring ‘The Unknown’ to bemused children, with nothing to offer them other than a half-cup of lemonade and a small ration of jelly beans. Felicia’s next gig will be slightly more illustrious, however as she will be putting her experience scaring the children of Glasgow to good use at the London Dungeon on 7 April. The guest appearance at one of London’s top attractions, now in its 50th year, will see aspiring actor Felicia trained up by the best in the business in the art of scare and immersive theatre acting – before she takes to the depths of the Dungeon herself to perform for thrill seekers and fans. Felicia, who played The Unknown in Willy’s Chocolate Experience said: “I’m a huge fan of The Dungeons across the UK. I’ve visited many times as a guest, and I can’t quite believe I now get to be the one who’s scaring the public. Who would have thought my wild Wonka experience would have led me to this! “I’m hoping my recent scare experience will have set me up well for this role – and I cannot wait to meet and learn from the expert team at the London Dungeon as I'd love to be doing their job full time one day. London here I come!” The London Dungeon, home to an amazing cast of theatrical actors, special effects, stages, scenes and rides, reached out to Felicia to offer her the opportunity to train with the performance team, followed by a guest appearance acting in the attraction. A London Dungeon spokesperson said: “Clearly Felicia is a natural when it comes to the art of the scare! It’s an honour to be joined by the acting talent behind the now cult character The Unknown – and we can’t wait to see what she’ll bring to our horribly scary historical figures. If you think the mysterious character of The Unknown was unnerving, you haven’t seen anything yet! “While we can’t say there will be any mirrors involved in Felicia’s training and guest appearance this Easter, what we can promise is there won’t be an AI script or advert in sight. The team can’t wait to welcome her to their ranks. Forget the West End, big breaks come just across from West...minster!”
