What I liked
AN ABSOLUTELY FIRST RATE PERFORMANCE AND ONE OF THE BEST SOLO SHOWS OF THE FRINGE,
MY FULL REVIEW WILL BE APPEARING IN BITTER LEMONS, BUT THIS ONE IS A TRUE GEM.
What I didn't like
THAT IT DOESN’T HAVE MORE REVIEWS
My overall impression
Daniel Llewelyn-Williams’ one man show, A Regular Little Houdini is an enchanting blend of history, tragedy and magic.
Set in his home town of Newport, South Wales during the Edwardian era, Llewelyn-Williams’ coming of age story of a little boy who idolizes the escape artist Harry Houdini draws on actual events from the town past. It is this legitimacy and Llewelyn-Williams’ all too apparent love of his birth place that give an added luster to an all ready stunning performance.
Joshua Richards’s sharp and skilled direction and Meg Cox’s lovely music play no small part in the show’s success as well. A definite: GOLD
