DERREN BROWN BRINGS NEW SHOW TO NEWCASTLE: Theatre Royal

The multi-award winning acknowledged master of psychological illusion is back on tour with his smash-hit show Derren Brown: Infamous. The show is at Theatre Royal for one week only, 2 7 June, and is sure to demonstrate why Derren is one of the worlds most renowned live performers; a dark manipulator of magic and mind control. Critics and the public have been universal in their praise for what has proven to be Derrens most heart-felt show and audiences have flocked from around the world to be part of this unique theatrical experience. Derren commented: After six months of touring a much more personal show - quite a 'brave' move away from the template of previous shows - it's been hugely rewarding to repeatedly hear audience members and critics say it's the best show yet. Infamous is Derrens 6th show since 2003. Since then he has toured every year and been watched by an estimated audience of over one million people. He has won two prestigious Olivier Awards, for Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006) and Svengali (2012). Infamous was recently announced as a nominee at the 2014 Olivier Awards in the Best Entertainment and Family category. Derren confesses that performing live is still his favourite thing to do. For Infamous, Derren is re-united with his close collaborator and friend actor, writer Andy Nyman. Infamous is directed by Andy Nyman, and written by Derren Brown & Andy Nyman.
