Are you a Harry Potter fan? Or do you have family members who are?
If so, this upcoming family comedy at Quay Arts might be right up your street.
Our favourite arts venue is offering two chances (3pm and 6pm) to catch this parody of the Harry Potter stories and the whole Harry Potter phenomenon as told by Dan and Jeff (best-known for their storytelling slot on BBC’s Blue Peter) in November.
Dan and Jeff perform the amazing feat of delivering all the Harry Potter books in just sixty minutes! The Isle of Wight is the first stop for this brilliantly funny parody as part of its major nationwide tour. It was a sell-out success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and during a London run and here’s what the papers had to say.
“A little bit of magic”¦ this show is a crowd-pleaser” The Guardian
“A fabulously funny parody, which bolts the modern obsession with Potter onto an old-fashioned variety turn with serious Jeff taking the Ernie Wise role and silly Dan as a latterday Eric Morecambe” Daily Telegraph “Funny and gloriously unpredictable, this is one of those rare great nights out for all the family.” The Stage
This dynamic duo race their way through books one to six, with a special teaser mention of book seven, so there won’t be any spoilers for fans who haven’t made it to the end yet. They introduce all the favourite characters in a fast and furious hour of fun, which has something for everyone – both fans of the books and those who’ve never read them.
Potted Potter – The Unauthorised Harry Experience is written and performed by Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner and directed by Richard Hurst and Dominic Knutton.
