Dominic Berry's wizard new show
Wizard, a new poetry-fantasy-theatre show by Manchester poet Dominic Berry – described as one man and his kettle against the world – is being staged at Contact, Oxford Road, Manchester, from Wednesday 28 March to Saturday 31 March. Suitable for ages 14-plus, tickets are £8/£5. The show starts at 8pm, with an after-show discussion on Thursday 29 March.
When an agoraphobic wizard shares his world of tea-loving carpet goblins and a zombie-slaying dish rack with a neighbour from the flat above, three days of magic change both their lives forever. Inspired by writer-performer Berry's own experiences of anxiety attacks and the mental health system, Wizard combines comedy, fantasy and imaginative theatre in a quest to find magic in even the darkest of places.
Dominic Berry is a champion of New York's Nuyorican Poetry Cafe slam and Manchester Literature Festival's Superheroes of Slam and a regular on the Manchester and national poetry scenes. His poetry collection, Tomorrow, I Will Go Dancing, was published by Manchester's Flapjack Press in 2008.
