Event Short Description

The gripping true story of ‘Sherlock Holmes’ writer Arthur Conan Doyle and illusionist Harry Houdini.

Event Information

Harry Houdini is the greatest illusionist the world has ever known. Arthur Conan Doyle is the creator of literature’s most brilliant detective, Sherlock Holmes.

Their mutual admiration blossoms into a profound friendship, even as they discover a shared obsession with spiritualism. Conan Doyle believes fervently in the psychic world and the promise of reunion with his dead son; Houdini is determined to demonstrate it’s a cruel fraud. Which of these sparring partners will be proved right: the genius writer of fiction or the infallible magician?

Based on extraordinary historical events, Magic asks what we’re prepared to believe, and why.

David Haig plays Conan Doyle in his own new play, with Hadley Fraser as Houdini. Check CFT website for full schedule and running time.
