Imagine a magic show where there are no magic wands. No top hats. No smoke and mirrors. No rabbits in hats.

Derren Brown, the multi-award winning acknowledged master of psychological illusion, comes to The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, later this month. Infamous demonstrates why Brown is one of the world's most renowned live performers; a dark manipulator of magic and mind control. He says performing live is still his favourite thing to do, adding: 'This is a much more personal show - quite a 'brave' move away from the template of previous shows - and it's been hugely rewarding to hear audience members and critics say it's the best show yet.'

Details are announced for a series of debates and talks chaired by Deputy Artistic Director Erica Whyman, to take place in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon in response to the Royal Shakespeare Company's summer season of work.

I'm currently on my way to London and I can hardly contain my excitement! I begin my journey and my blog from the plane, which is actually quite a bad idea since I should be sleeping instead of typing, as to not be a jet lagged zombie when I land in the morning. I also probably shouldn't have had that glass of wine the flight steward offered, as it can dry the vocal chords...so I'm off to a good start!
