Belfast audiences will have to wait just a little longer - The Assistant’s Revenge will return for a one of a kind performance in the heart of the City in March 2018.

A phone rings in the dead of night. Sam Sullivan, a small-time private eye hears a frightened voice on the end of the line:‘Someone’s trying to kill me’

The voice leads him to a strange travelling show at the edge of town where he meets Felix, an escapologist, and his assistants, Molly and Crystal, one of whom appears to have murder in mind. Sullivan is plunged into a world of danger and deceit in a case with more twists and turns than a ten inch corkscrew.

Director Paul Bosco Mc Eneaney says: “The Assistant’s Revenge is the perfect piece of theatre for families at this time of year - it’s spooky, it’s stylish and it’s filled with incredible illusions, live original music and huge special effects. We can’t wait to watch our young audiences solve this mystery with their families in the lead up to Halloween.”
