The Psychic Detective (and those Disappeared)

Be taken on your own magic mystery tour to see ‘The Psychic Detective (and Those Disappeared)’. To get to this show you meet at a starting point then walk to the venue, a truck.

The stagetruck is just that, a truck within which are raked seats and a window. It is through this window we watch the performance. The blinds in the window are opened to allow us to see the live action and closed so that we can watch projected images. With a film noir feel in both the performance itself and also the soundtrack we are transported back in time.

We see Bett, Patrick Bett, Private Eye and two other characters, but are the mysterious woman and man real or just figments of Bett’s drowning imagination. We see Bett on the phone arranging a meeting then his attack and disposal in the drink, all the evidence points to us eaves dropping in on Bett’s minds last moments.

Will he survive?

Who are these shadows?

Why do they talk of escape?

What is this timeline they talk about?

This show is in two parts of which I saw the first, so I honestly do not know the answer to the above questions. This show is starting a tour post Fringe so I look forward to seeing part two and getting my own answers.

Fascinating experience which I hope to repeat soon.
