East Anglian writer/performer Darren Gooding continues his exploration into the extraordinary, wondrous and occasionally downright ridiculous world of the most beguiling and mercurial of all Magicians for this brand new cycle of stage shows!

 Leopold Thorn: Conjuror (professionally), Liar (reputedly), Visionary Scientist (quite possibly) and Strutting Dandy (unquestionably), is facing his most daunting challenge to date; telling bedtime stories to entertain his decidedly precocious and resolutely insomniac daughter…

In the early years of the 20th Century, deep in the snows of a long, cold winter in British Columbia, a bereaved clockmaker, Jameson Holtz, is stirred from his frozen grief by the arrival of a lady unlike any he has ever met... The Deceptrix Miss P.T. Wilby is about to offer him a commission – the most fabulous and terrible creation to which he could ever turn his astounding engineering skills. The fantastical Circus of Miss Lumiere is coming to town and the laws of nature are about to be re-written... Storytelling meets theatre in this beguiling exploration of beauty, loss and manufactured love.

Duration: 1 hour 45 (Inc. interval).

But of course they’re all just flights of fancy aren’t they? No real person could ever experience such amazing adventures...

This epic cycle of interlinked romances plays out through four full length solo dramas. From the romantic to the subversive, prepare to witness levitation, decapitation, and restoration in the idealistic, eccentric and charismatic company of the greatest Stage Magician Victorian London never knew…
