ALADDIN AND THE MAGIC LAMP

By Neil Duffield

Previously performed by:

Library Theatre, Manchester

Byre Theatre, St. Andrews

M6 Theatre, Rochdale

CAST SIZE 6

What the press say about it:

"Neil Duffield has used the old A Thousand Nights and One Tale to say things about promises, about feminism, about freedom from negative wants, and about the lure of power. Not that you'd ever really notice because they're all wrapped up in magical happenings and a comic narrative that skips along nimbly."
THE GUARDIAN

"...a briskly paced boisterous show that is one of the jolliest and happiest I've seen"
THE SCOTSMAN

"Writer Neil Duffield has gone back to the original tale for his version which is beautifully told..."
DUNDEE COURIER

"If it's adventure, fun, thrills and old-fashioned entertainment you're after - then look no further."
MANCHESTER METRO NEWS

"...a rare theatrical feast....a first-rate balance between the interesting, the funny, the warm, the sad, and the spectacular."
ROCHDALE OBSERVER

"Children at the performance I went to seemed so attuned to what was happening on stage they yelled out unsolicited as well as prompted, often remembering very minor details from much earlier in the text..."
