It's All in Your Head
Written & Performed by Morgan Blake
Following its debut at The Nineteen33 Speakeasy and its run at the National Arts Festival, Morgan Blake's debut theatre production returns.

The stage waits in silence.
No magician. No introduction.
Only a tape recorder… and a set of instructions.
Press play, and the experience begins.
This is not a traditional magic show.

The line between audience and magician begins to blur.
And not everyone leaves in the same role they arrived in.
No actors.
No pre-show research.
No one is “playing along".
