The Magician's Elephant

Nancy Harris & Marc Teitler from the book by Kate DiCamillo

A magician conjures an elephant from the sky, setting off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that it changes life in this quiet and lonely town forever.

This musical for all the family is adapted from Kate DiCamillo's prize-winning novel, and is brought to you from the successful team that brought you The Grinning Man and Dead Dog in a Suitcase. Directed by Anna Hosgood and Bertie Lane.

Baltese is a town where nothing extraordinary ever happens. Recovering from a recent war, it’s a lonely place, where young Peter lives a harsh life.Then one day, a magician conjures an elephant from the sky. The creature’s appearance sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that it changes Baltese forever. Peter is catapulted into the quest of his life, overturning everything he ever thought he knew, and discovering that happiness can come from the most unexpected places.
