EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS
All seven Harry Potter books in seventy minutes! Watch CBBC’s Dan and Jeff take on the ultimate challenge, with the help of endless costumes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props, and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic. This fantastically funny show features all your favourite characters, a special appearance from a very frightening fire-breathing dragon, and even a game of Quidditch involving the audience!
This brilliant show was first seen in 2006, and returns to Edinburgh for a limited run as part of its fifth birthday tour. 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.
Dan and Jeff are best known for their TV appearances on CBBC and Blue Peter. They were nominated earlier this year for the prestigious Best Entertainment Olivier Award for their follow-up show Potted Panto.
‘Jeff and Dan, the masterminds behind Potted Potter, are fantastic storytellers, overflowing with energy and incredibly skilled at keeping children excited and involved in the performance.’
All Festival Highlights shows are participating in the 241 promotion today and tomorrow where you can get two tickets for the price of one. The perfect excuse to check out twice as many shows!
The only exception to this is Lockerbie: Unfinished Business, as it is only doing one performance, today at 4pm at St John’s Church on Princes Street. Tickets are still available and the show will be followed by a panel discussion with guests including Jim Swire and Robert Black.
Five years ago today, Potted Potter played its first show at the Edinburgh Fringe in a 60-seat theatre. Hasn’t it grown since then! Now gracing the 750-seat Pleasance Grand, the show will be celebrating today by giving cake to its entire audience! Join the fun from 4pm at Pleasance Courtyard – tickets are still available for today’s performance.
