This is the second production that we will be seeing produced by the much respected Fear No Colours group. It’s Tonight with Donny Stixx at The Studio @ TheSpace at Jury’s Inn, at 13:40 on Tuesday 21st. This is what the blurb says: “Superstar Donny Stixx is finally in town! Prepare to be amazed and expect the unexpected as Donny goes down in history as the greatest magician of our time! But please, no questions about the incident at St Joseph’s. Donny is doing this his way and, besides, no price is too high for superstardom. Philip Ridley’s spectacular tale of Donny is a rollercoaster ride of emotion, both darkly hilarious and gut-wrenchingly honest. The play is a companion piece to Dark Vanilla Jungle, performed by Fear No Colours in 2016 to great critical acclaim.”

This does sound like one of those interminable American news-cum-satire shows that seem to be everywhere nowadays – however, I know it’s nothing to do with that at all, but a wannabe magician who’s done a terrible thing. but what? I really don’t know what to expect, but knowing Fear No Colours, I’m sure it will be thought-provoking. Donny Stixx is performed by Chris Duffy. Check back around 3.15 pm to see what it was like. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

That’s a fantastic, frenetic, disturbing performance of enormous skill and power. You’ve heard the phrase, “a one-man tour de force”? Well that doesn’t do it justice. Spellbinding, and really deserves a life after the Fringe.
