A thrilling fusion of comedy, magic and theatre at the Watergate in Kilkenny

A thrilling fusion of comedy, magic and theatre at the Watergate in Kilkenny

Magic Play takes place at the Watergate Theatre on March 22

Produced by award-winning Gúna Nua Theatre, Magic Play combines comedy, close-up magic and questions of faith and belief in an original and thrilling fusion of magic and theatre.

​The play tells the story of Alastair Caspar who invites you to witness his very last show. In an audacious move, the renowned magician is hanging up his cape and taking over the city in a bid to capture hearts and regain a lost love. What will happen when his meticulously planned mentalism begins to unravel? Can Alastair keep all the plates spinning, give you something to believe in, and still pull redemption from a hat?

Magic Play is by Liam Wilson Smyth (from a story by Paul Meade) and is for audiences aged 12 upwards.

The show takes place on March 22 at the Watergate at 8pm. Tickets are €16.
