MANILA, Philippines - Playing to sold-out houses all over the world, Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real life game of Quidditch) into 70 hilarious minutes. This fantastically funny show features all your favourite characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, endless costumes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic.
Potted Potter opens at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Ayala Ave, Makati City on Aug. 28, and will play only 10 shows. Tickets are on sale now.
Created by double Olivier Award Best Entertainment nominees Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the show is a must-see for Potter addicts and a great introduction to the series for anyone who’s ever wondered what all the fuss is about. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, Potted Potter will make you roar with laughter. This brilliant family entertainment is perfect for ages six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed).
Potted Potter has played to sold-out houses in Toronto, London and Edinburgh, and has just started its debut season in New York City.
Clarkson and Turner first created Potted Potter in 2005 for an appearance at a London bookshop, as a five-minute entertainment for fans awaiting the release of the sixth book in the series. The show grew from there into a full-length stage production, first seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006, and has since toured internationally, including sell-out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival and New Zealand Comedy Festival in 2009.
The show was written by Daniel Clarkson & Jefferson Turner; performed by Jesse Briton & Gary Trainor; direction and additional material by Richard Hurst; set design by Simon Scullion; lighting design by Tim Mascall; music composed by Phil Innes; associate direction by Hanna Berrigan; and produced by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and Potted Productions
