Harry Houdini is the greatest entertainer in the world.
Just as his jaw-dropping escapology stunts have elevated him and his wife Bess to being on the cusp of a career-defining performance in front of King Edward, Houdini is framed for murder by a ruthless gang of criminals in cahoots with the police chief.
Can Harry & Bess escape and clear their names? And just how is their rival, The Superstar Spiritualist medium, involved in the plot?
Fear not, as all will be revealed in this new and hilarious 39 Steps-esque thriller that is all played out in New Old Friends’ award-winning and inimitable style of sparkling wit, physical comedy, and just a small sprinkling of chaos.
Houdini's Greatest Escape features a hard-working cast of four who play multiple roles on what seems to be an even harder-working set. This show at the Kings Head Theatre will have you laughing out loud, and gasping throughout at the magic of theatre, and TV’s Pete Firman's ‘real’ magic of illusions.
Presented by New Old Friends, in association with Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.
