A special performance for the Halloween weekend: Magickal Realism is a theatrical performance by Alistair Gentry which uses live integration of video, animation, readings and performance to recreate the life and work of Dr John Dee, the proto-scientist, court magician and fortune-teller to Queen Elizabeth I and his scryer, the fraudster Edward Kelley.

Together they spent many years communicating with ethereal realms and predicting the future during their “Angelic Actions.”

This show revives some old tricks and techniques of historical fortune tellers and occultists, combining them with 21st century digital video to recreate the strangeness, paranoia and wonder of an England where witches were completely real, anybody who was anybody had somebody else plotting to kill them, and magical dolls could threaten a person’s life.

Tickets: £6

Suitable for over 12yr olds.
