Potted Potter

Back by popular demand, Potted Potter condenses all seven Harry Potter books into a hilarious 70-minute show including a live game of Quidditch. The parody production also features all the favourite characters and Hogwarts magic.

Potter star James Percy says, “I grew up with the books and the films, it’s a childhood dream come true. As a young boy who wanted to be an actor it seems like Harry Potter was the best job in the world.” He continues, “Little did I know I would have to wait to be a full gown adult to get the chance to play the part.”

With only two actors being onstage at all times, the physicality of the show is a challenge, but hilarity prevails. The fast-paced and high-energy production performs 10 minutes of each book.

“It is a very interactive show and the audience are the third actor in the show,” says Percy, “for example, we play a live full game of Quidditch with the audience.”

If you are an avid Harry Potter fan or want to see what all the fuss is about buy tickets to this uproarious show. It’s rumoured that even JK Rowling couldn’t get a last minute ticket. (CT)
