By James Galea & Nicholas Hammond
Directed by Nicholas Hammond
Presented by Soft Tread Enterprises
QUT Gardens Theatre, Gardens Point, Brisbane
If there was ever a show to prove wrong the stereotype that theatre is “boring”, this is it. A delicious blend of drama and magic was orchestrated to create an absorbing one man show – which was carried brilliantly by co-creator Galea.

Fantastic!
I saw this show in Melbourne - simply fantastic. A perfect blend of drama and magic, twists and turns. Much more than a magician, James is a consummate performer. A definite must see.
