Review: James Phelan: Showman, Underbelly Boulevard
‘The magic will work, but you must concentrate!’ is the slightly barbed energy that dominates James Phelan‘s spectacle of astounding psychological manipulation and mind-reading. With a finger pressed to an audience member’s forehead, he summons information directly into their mind – names, unspoken secrets, knowledge of sentimental objects from other members of the crowd. It is one of the most ambitious feats of hypnotism conceivable, built on a delicate atmosphere of trust, engagement and imagination. Phelan builds his world gradually, starting with a series of warm-up tricks that draw us into his logic. A card trick is framed around probability and influence, as he distracts us with mundane conversation before correctly naming the selected card. He then moves into exercises designed to engage the imagination: a magnet-like force pulling fingers together, one arm weighed down by an invisible box while the other is lifted by a balloon. From there, he escalates to his thought-summoning pièce de résistance, which begins by securing a volunteer’s feet to the floor with a few gestures and words. Alas, the imaginary quicksand does not take hold. The trick works only if the audience member fully commits to the illusion. We need to cooperate. The interesting…

Interview: The Young Playwrights Award 2026
Everything Theatre has a track record in championing Theatre for Young Audiences, as well as supporting young creatives taking their first steps in putting work on the stage. So we were more than happy when The Royal Court asked if we’d like to share their interviews with the winners of this year’s Young Playwrights Award. The Royal Court‘s Young Playwrights Award 2026 received more than 260 submissions from 13–18-year-olds throughout the UK, following a national programme of free workshops for schools and youth groups, alongside digital resources and videos. The free-to-enter award aims to discover, nurture and champion the next generation of playwrights, offering personal feedback for every play submitted, and addressing the current lack of provision for scriptwriting as part of the school curriculum. The winners of the 13-15 age category are Lucy Edda Leggatt (Fruit.), Rufus Peaty (You’ll Live); Lucy Varley (A Shadow on the Ocean). In the 16-18 age category, the winners are Thomas Mossman (Bus Stop of Strangers), Lucy Nicholas (Build-a-Boyfriend (please don’t leave)) and Dhaani Singh (You Can’t Say That). Lucy Edda Leggatt, writer of Fruit. Describe your play in a sentence… My play is about the small lives of two girls in the 17th…
