A couple smoking, two lives driven by little white death sticks. They appear, evaporate, multiply uncontrollably, and all the while we wonder: is it ever ok to really need something? To need someone? Maybe not all bad things are good for you. An acceptance is reached, an understanding gained, he quits giving up, she quits giving in; everyone needs a vice in the city.

Performed at the Pleasance Theatre, North London, Magic to Cry for is a ten minute piece exploring the boundary between love and need. Fusing magic and movement with text drawn from rehearsals, this show encapsulates what we strive for as a company and where we are heading.
