Following his previous show, Showman Derren Brown is set to return to the West End this year as Derren Brown's Unbelievable will play a short month-long engagement at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester from July 28th, before transferring to the Criterion Theatre from September 19th until April 7th, 2024.
The illusionist is a two-time Olivier Award winner with previous offerings 'Svengali' and 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' both winning the award for Best Entertainment.
Unbelievable will be a collaboration between Brown, Andy Nyman, and Andrew O’Connor, promising an "evening of bewildering trickery." The forthcoming production will include an updated version of Will, The Witch, and the Wolfman, not seen in London for over 100 years. Derren Brown will not personally appear in Unbelievable and casting will be revealed in due course at a later date.
Commenting on the new show, Brown said: “We have reimagined what a night of illusion could be. We have taken the love and experience we’ve put into my own stage work over twenty years and created, from the ground up, a proper, original, theatrical experience. I think we have liberated the magic show. It’s going to be a glorious thing."
Although Derren Brown does not star in Unbelievable in the West End he creates, writes, and will direct the production at the Criterion Theatre.
