Sally Pomme Clayton, The Crick Crack Club

When Sally Pomme was a child she was asked to assist a magician with a trick... it didn't go well...

Performance storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton rummages through hats and rabbits, smoke and mirrors, spells and wands, searching for alchemy and a taste of the inexplicable.

Conjuring archetypal magicians from fragments of Egyptian myth and wild Russian fairytale, she summons her own rough magic with the help (and hindrance) of foolish apprentices, genies, and mistress of magic Elena the Wise. In this slight-of-hand world girls become doves, the magician goes mad and you can enter another life completely.

Join her in her quest to discover what is real and what is illusion; what happens when magic goes wrong, and who is the apprentice, who is the teacher?
