The Marvellous Mechanical Mesmerist Actors with disabilities world premiere a new hilarious play with hypnotised people - it could be you! Paul Henshall, BBC's Holby City and I'm With Stupid, a trained hypnotist, plays a Victorian wide-boy intent on making as much money as possible with as little effort as necessary. Anna Scutt plays his wife, and 'Executive Partner'. Written by award-winning Stage Hypnotist Jonathan Chase, the remaining 'cast' are invited from suitably hypnotisable audience volunteers. Street hypnosis 'auditions' take place prior to the show at the Symposium Hall. Steampunk costume, not compulsory, could win prizes.

Preview: disability at the Fringe

Even though government estimates suggest about a fifth of the working age population are disabled, it is - not unsurprisingly - less than (can you do the maths in your head?...) the proportional 660.
