Influence
Thursday 19 Oct - Saturday 2 Dec [Past Event]
Bringing back a long-forgotten act, Kit Young stars in this story of deception
PAST EVENT
Influence tells The Magician’s story.
Descended from and inspired by a long line of mentalists, conjurers, and illusionists, for the first time he brings his skills in acting and magic together, to present an enchanting journey through a long-forgotten act that he is going to bring back to life…
“Theatrical magic show cleverly fogs the boundary between performance and reality” – THE STAGE
️️️★★★★”A magic and theatre lovers’ treat, Influence will keep you on your toes” – A YOUNGISH PERSPECTIVE
“As with the trickery, the production as a whole is really well-crafted, with particularly Natalie Pryce’s set design perfectly bridging the tricks and The Magician’s reality” – WHATS ON STAGE
️️★★★★ ‘Influence combines the frisson of danger of a magic show with a play’s careful plotting” – LONDON PUB THEATRES
With a few new surprises along the way. The work challenges the audiences’ powers of perception, and asks them if they can really believe what they see and hear?
Full of twists and turns, Influence plays with illusion, throwing into question the difference between truth and deception, reality and fiction.
