Mischief's Mind Mangler: A Night of Tragic Illusion, the newest comedy from the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, will embark on a tour of the United Kingdom this May. The tour, beginning May 15, will follow a six-week engagement in London's West End.
Starring original company members Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer, Mind Mangler is based on a character originally created in Magic Goes Wrong by Penn Jillette, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Henry Shields and Teller. The work previously ran at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Off-Broadway.
In the comedy, the Mind Mangler returns to the stage following a disappointing two-night run at the Luton Holiday Inn Conference Centre. His new solo spectacular is predicted to spiral into chaos as he attempts to read your mind.
The tour, opening May 15 at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, will make stops in Cambridge, Birmingham, Hull, Milton Keynes, Liverpool, and Bath through June 16.
Mind Mangler: A Night of Tragic Illusion is directed by Hannah Sharkey, with set design by Sara Perks, costume design by Roberto Surace, lighting design by David Howe, sound design by Helen Skiera, and video design by Gillian Tan. Ben Hart serves as magic consultant, and Steve Brown is the composer.
Mischief’s previous works include The Play That Goes Wrong, Magic Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, A Comedy About a Bank Robbery, and Mischief Movie Night.
