This mesmerizing show takes you from disbelief to wonder to wowed appreciation, as award-winning Australian magician Simon Coronel performs many forms of magic, from sleight-of-hand to mind-bendingly, seemingly impossible illusions. Beyond mere trickery, Coronel takes you on a journey through the truth behind magic and illusion; a truth that is far more amazing than even the illusions themselves. “One of the most spectacular, mind-bending things I’ve ever seen in my life” (The Tim Ferriss Show podcast).

What makes a man monstrous and a monster human? A tale of playing god and identity lost, Core Theatre Ensemble’s adaptation of the literary classic Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is resurrected for the Norfolk Theatre Festival 2025.

One of the first literary works in the sci-fi/horror genre, the story presents a frightening premise even in modern times. After discovering the secrets of animating human remains, Victor Frankenstein assembles body parts to create a living monster. The likes of which you have never seen.

Follow Creation vs. Creator down a path of destruction fueled by hate and revenge as they search for morality and purpose in the world. The eventual confrontation leaves a wake of death and ultimately reduces both to ruins. Join Core Theatre for this unique, high-energy, and beautiful production.
