Wizard

One man and his kettle against the world!

This event is part our Poets In The Pit week - www.thecockpit.org.uk/poets

When an agoraphobic Wizard shares his world of tea loving carpet goblins and a zombie slaying dish rack with a neighbour from the flat above, three days of magic change both their lives forever.

Poetry meets surreal humour in this exciting, new theatre show exploring how one person handles the modern mental health system.

Inspired by writer / performer Dominic Berry's own experiences of anxiety attacks and institutional therapies, Wizard combines comedy, fantasy and imaginative theatre in a quest to find magic in even the darkest of places.

Former agoraphobic Dominic Berry is now champion of New York's Nuyorican Poetry Cafe slam and Manchester Literature Festival's Superheroes of Slam. He is a regular on the Manchester and national poetry scenes. His own poetry book, 'Tomorrow, I Will Go Dancing' was published by Manchester's Flapjack Press in 2008.
