The greatest magician Harry Houdini lives again in this stunning new play.
Do Spirits Return? Harry Houdini believes they don't and sets out to expose the popular tricks of the Victorian psychics. Houdini: A Magician Among The Spirits follows the master magician as he lays bare the Séance room, tackles charlatans, navigates a troubled friendship with Arthur Conan Doyle, and performs some of his most famous tricks and escapes.
In a modern age of lies and spin, does Houdini's skepticism and logic have a resonance? Or does a lack of belief lead to a barren life? Where is the line between magic and misdeed?
Houdini: A Magician Among The Spirits is haunting and inescapable fun.
