Jamie Nichols, Mark Lyminsteras & More Join 2013 UK Tour of HOUDINI; Full Cast Announced!

Casting is announced today for the brand new, dramatic play 'HOUDINI' which premieres at Stoke Repertory Theatre on September 9th before embarking on a UK tour. 'Houdini' writer and BAFTA Award winning actor Stuart Brennan who plays Theo, Harry Houdini's brother, and Evanna Lynch, ex-Harry Potter alumni, who plays Bess, Harry's wife, are joined by Jamie Nichols as Harry Houdini, Mark Lyminsteras actor and promoter Martin Beck, and Ion Patrick Ridge as Douglas Geoffrey.

The dynamic young cast have a number of tasks ahead of them - not least of which will see Jamie Nichols learning some of Harry Houdini's most famous feats of escapology!

'HOUDINI' is about the life of two of the greatest performers the world has ever known - the Houdini Brothers: stuntmen, illusionists, magicians. The play is set throughout - and beyond - the astonishing career of the great Harry Houdini. Theatre Giant's creative director Peter Snee will direct Stuart Brennan's sharply observed script with a creative dream team that includes costume designer Fraz Roughton, sound designer Daffyd Gough, and composer Tord Brudevoll.
