Theater is a realm of illusion.
So is a magic show. Playwright
Andrew Hinderaker mashes these
traditions together with alluring
results in the “The Magic Play”
which follows a young magician
trying to get through a live show
just hours after his partner has
left him.
As the performance progress-
es, the magician confronts the
fact that the spectacular tricks
that impress people on stage don’t
serve him as well when it comes
to building truthful personal rela-
tionships. It’s a mesmerizing new
play that questions the extent to
which we must be honest with
ourselves in order to be so with
those we love.
