- Summary
- "A therapist's consulting room. A couch. A piano plays next door. As the patients talk, time and space are blurred, and the rich and alarming world of the unconscious comes to life before our eyes. Quick-witted and sad, moving and absurd, The Escapologist is a celebration of theatricality, using live music, silent film and pitch-perfect dialogue to tell the stories of its characters--and the story of Harry Houdini, whose amazing stunts somehow relate to them all."--Publisher description.
