We chatted to Kirsty Cox (who plays a number of different characters) about Houdini's Greatest Escape. The production can be seen at the Octagon Theatre Bolton on Wednesday 3rd to Saturday 6th April 2024.
Harry Houdini is the world's greatest entertainer
Just as his death-defying escapology stunts have him, and his wife Bess, on the cusp of a career-defining performance for King Edward, he finds himself framed for murder by a gang of criminals in cahoots with the chief of police.
Can Harry & Bess escape the plot and clear their names? And how is their rival, the Superstar Spiritualist Medium, involved?
All will be revealed in this hilarious 39 Steps-esque thriller, played out in New Old Friends’ inimitable, award-winning style of physical comedy, sparkling wit and just a touch of chaos. Featuring ‘real’ magic illusions designed by TV’s Pete Firman of Netflix’s Good Omens and BBC One’s The Magicians.
