Rough Magic is an absolute treat of a show, amusing adults alongside the enchanted children. The play has true heart, as we warm to Nona’s plight, working through the key message that mistakes are inevitable, but having integrity and working to resolve misdemeanours are key. Rough Magic is clever and bold, with brilliant performances by an infectiously charismatic and playful cast.

Lucy Cuthbertson’s production, with additional direction by Frampton, is warm-spirited and well-paced. The young audience particularly enjoy when any potentially boring bits are fast-fowarded by the actors. Plays that close by extolling the wonders of drama can end up irritating instead. But Rough Magic concludes with a moving reflection on the spirit in which we make our entrances and exits at the theatre, and the wizardry that binds us in between.
We were fortunate to attend the second-to-last stop on Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour, after her most recent album of the same name. This concert came at the right time for me personally, as I had gotten some rough news earlier in the day, that was very unexpected, and had debated attending the show, but was so very glad we did as she sang a song dedicated to her father, and best friend who had passed away saying she believes they are watching and with her both on stage and every day, and reminded us of that, very hard to hear at that point, but a very good reminder. But it was also a reminder to spend time with people and do as much as you can with them, because you never know what might happen or when. I have long believed music is healing, therapeutic, and definitely speaks to us. So, a night of therapeutic music with Lindsey was here at the right time.
