Sleight of Hand
Sleight of Hand is transformative theatre with a punchline that alters what you thought you knew, turning traditional perception on its head: teaching audiences to expect the unexpected, and open their minds to the undiscovered.

The play presents a series of intriguing scenarios that examine our attempts to understand the workings of the human mind.
