Fake
Preview · Wed 5 Aug – Fri 7 Aug2 for 1 · Mon 10 Aug – Tue 11 Aug14+
It's pretty, but is it art? Through magic, comedy and storytelling, Chris Cook shares the story of a faker so skilled he had to forge his way to freedom, an artist so talented he may himself be a fraud, a magician whose promise conceals a lie, and a mysterious figure who may not even exist. A story only a magician could tell. Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe 2025. 'A masterclass in storytelling' ***** (Edinburgh-Reviews.co.uk). 'Fake is the show to see' ***** (WorldMagicReview.com). 'A true joy to watch' ***** (The Student).
