LONDON — About 400 people gathered in the Troubadour Wembley Park Theater in North West London on the Friday night before the Wimbledon tennis tournament began — to watch a match from 1980.
The famous men’s singles final from that year, between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe, was part of an immersive theater experience called “Wimbledon Rematch 1980.”
A five-hour show, it was performed for three nights and involved playing broadcast footage of the match on a large screen in a theater while live actors, dressed as the players, swung along in unison.
