The Expat at the Card Table

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

One suitcase, one book, one-way ticket…

Pack your bags and join Jack as he embarks on the trip of a lifetime. New place. New people. New words! Is it what he expected?

Following a chance encounter with a rare book written by a mysterious author, Jack returns to his formative years, recalling his introduction to magic. But will he uncover the author’s identity before he discovers his own? Crossing continents and cultural divides, he’s joined by some familiar faces as his biggest decision to date plays out in real-time.

Go on a journey like no other in this tightly packed evening of magic and storytelling which highlights the power of community, our ability to write our own futures and how even the most ordinary people can perform the most extraordinary acts.
