On Hallowe’en 2009, prepare to be amazed as Little Earthquake - those purveyors of the curious, the miraculous and the marvellous - mark the anniversary of Harry Houdini’s death with the world premiere of their brand new production... THE HOUDINI EXPOSURE For two nights only, Little Earthquake will pitch its giant spirit cabinet on the stage of Wolverhampton’s Arena Theatre. Watch as they pull back the plush velvet curtains and transport you to the seedy backstreets of Soho, the illicit séances of Victorian England, and the dressing room of the greatest showman on Earth. Marvel at the electrifying tale of two deadly rivals who each believe they can answer the question on everybody’s lips... Can the spirits of the dead return? In an act that baffles scientists and mesmerises royalty, Daniel Home, the world’s most famous psychic, performs the most shocking supernatural feats of the era. In an act that brings threats against his life raining down from all quarters, Harry Houdini, the world’s most famous illusionist, dedicates his final years to debunking the most controversial spirit phenomena of the age. Which one of them will you believe? The Medium? Or the Magician? Over a century later, a lonely photographer believes he is being haunted by the ghost of a childhood friend, and a second-rate con-man begins to discover surprising powers he never knew he possessed. The stage is set for a spectacular showdown as one man, trapped in a tank filled with water, finally answers the question that has captivated them all.Company Little Earthquake.
