Set in 1888 New Zealand, this theatrical thrill ride follows the rise, fall and mysterious disappearance of the infamous Mr and Mrs Alexander. He’s a showman who makes objects vanish before your eyes. She’s a magnetic woman who can read your thoughts. Together, they charm, deceive and astonish with feats that will leave you wondering what’s real and what’s pure illusion.
Created and performed by award-winning duo Lizzie Tollemache and David Ladderman (Critics’ Choice Award, World Buskers Festival), the show fuses theatre, sideshow stunts and vintage magic with original music by Robbie Ellis. Expect gasps, laughter and more than a few goosebumps as the Alexanders perform their heart-stopping finale, The Possum Trap.
Gripping, witty and wonderfully twisted, this is old-school showmanship with a devilish modern edge. Step inside their tent and discover why audiences across the country are spellbound by Mr and Mrs Alexander.
