Give or Take ProductionsProfessional company

75 minutesRed Lecture Theatre
A broken fairy tale for broken people. In a whimsical land of broken toys, Magnus Coffinkey must fix a bell atop an impossibly high spire. Success will make his wish come true. The price of failure is a permanently broken heart. Funny, honest and deeply devastating, The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey is a dark fairy tale where the power of storytelling is used to make sense of great personal trauma. Outstanding Theatre Award at Brighton Fringe, 2024. 'Sublime. Heart-wrenching. Perfect' ***** (TheReviewsHub.com).
