Rabbits Out of the Hat

April 19th 2025

Evening Performance 7:30pm
Cafe/Bar open from 6pm

Rabbits Out of the Hat is a whimsical play about a magic show, fun for all ages. By turns amazing, inspiring and comical, you’ve never seen a show quite like this.

Vaudevillian duo Norvil & Josephine present their magical extravaganza. It’s 1905 and their world will never be the same again. They seem to be the traditional magician and doting assistant but it’s time for the magician to find new dreams while the assistant calls the shots!

With breathtaking magic and circus feats plus showstopper songs, Magic Circle magicians Norvil & Josephine share a humorous and heartwarming story about being yourself, no matter what.

The show was developed in part from workshops around the UK. The international creative team includes specialists in magic, circus and clowning.
