The Intersections & Beyond: "Potted Potter" in Manila (August 28

Potted Potter, the West End and New York smash hit play, will have its Manila run at at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium on August 28-September 2, 2012 with only 10 limited shows. Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real life game of Quidditch) into seventy hilarious minutes. This fantastically funny show features all your favourite characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, endless costumes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic.

Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium is located at the RCBC Plaza, Ayala Avenue in Makati City.

Potted Potter is a 2012 Olivier Award Nominee as Best Entertainment & Family Show. Created by double Olivier Award Best Entertainment nominees Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the show is 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. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and Hufflepuff, Potted Potter will make you roar with laughter.

“Fabulously Funny! Will tickle the funny bone of every age group.”

The London Daily Telegraph

Time Out, London – Critic’s Choice

Potted Potter has played to sold-out houses in Toronto, London and Edinburgh, and has just started its debut season in New York City.

All three Potted shows (Potted Panto, Potted Potter and Potted Pirates) have earned widespread acclaim and a fan base that crosses generations. Potted Potter played five sold-out Fringe seasons in Edinburgh, five sold-out London runs and extensive UK and international tours.

Clarkson and Turner first created Potted Potter in 2005 for an appearance at a London bookshop, as a five-minute entertainment for fans awaiting the release of the sixth book in the series. The show grew from there into a full-length stage production, first seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006, and has since toured internationally, including sell-out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival and New Zealand Comedy Festival in 2009.

“An absolute gift of a show… Funny and gloriously unpredictable.”

The Stage, UK

“Blissfully funny, a winner in every way. This show is a crowd-pleaser.”

The Guardian, UK
