My Dad, the Magician was a family show in collaboration with Laura Mugridge and Andy Purves, Supported by Arts Council England, Omnibus Theatre, Theatre Royal Margate and South Street.
​
It is a solo show exploring the reasons why our parents do the jobs they do.
​
The show toured nationally to schools and arts centres in 2018.
​
It was great fun to make and really good fun to perform as I get to perform my Dad's homemade magic tricks.
​
There is also a talking rabbit called Horace. Come on!
Tom is 11 years old.
​
His Dad is a magician and Tom is his assistant.
​
Using handmade magic tricks, live music and rabbit called Horace, this nostalgically inventive family show tells the story of a real magician who's greatest trick will be making sure there's food on the family table.
