Morgan & West

Morgan & West's Great Big Christmas Magic Show - thelights No better way to enjoy the festive season than with time-travelling magicians Morgan & West What better way to enjoy the festive season than with…

Farnham!!!!!!
This Saturday we're coming for yoooooouuuuu!!!!!

That's right, we're coming to Farnham Maltings this Saturday afternoon with our brand new show! We've done a Christmas run there, we've been there with Science multiple times, we've even brought The Three Musketeers to the bit of grass by the carpark.

So come on down to the Farnham Maltings at 2pm for the show of a lifetime*!

* It is a show, and it is indeed part of a lifetime.

We're out on tour! Massive Magic Show for Kids is underway and ticking along, so why not join us for magical mayhem this Autumn?

Not coming anywhere near you? Never fear, more dates are in the pipeline for the Spring so hold tight and hopefully we'll have something for you.

In the mean time tell your friends, tell your family, tell you neighbourly and work acquaintances, book your tickets and come join us for the nonsense!

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? No, it's a new Morgan & West show! Rehearsals are well underway for Morgan & West's Massive Magic Show for Kids (and childish grown-ups), coming soon to a theatre near you (or far from you, depending on where you live).

The tour starts in Cheltenham on the 30th August, and continues right through into 2024. Want to see where we're coming? Head over to https://morganandwest.co.uk/live-dates/ to find out! (More dates will be going on sale soon)

Well this is Christmas, and what have we learned? The science show again for one thing. It has been a delight to take Unbelievable Science back out on the road, and The Three Musketeers with Peter Clifford, and of course to cap it all off our Great Big Christmas Magic Show.

Enormous thanks to all who have come along to watch us and our nonsense. And big thanks to all who've helped us out along the way on and off stage too.

We've a few days left of shows in Oxford before going into hibernation for a few weeks. We wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2023.

Much love, Morgan & West.

PS Mr West designed the card this year with particular flare and aplomb. However Mr Morgan has never seen It's a Wonderful Life but assumes he's having a lovely time in the photo.

Join us this December for Morgan & West's Great Big Christmas Magic Show! ✨

All of Morgan & West’s best tricks and silliest nonsense ready to delight audiences of all ages.

Hey ho ho ho! We're rapidly approaching the most festive of seasons and as a result we're off out on tour with our Great Big Christmas Magic Show!

It's coming to...
Nottingham (3rd and 4th)
Cranbrook (9th)
Aylesbury (10th)
Henley-on-Thames (15th)
Brighton and Hove (16th to 21st)
Oxford (22nd to 24th)

All the details can be found on our website. Come one come all, get booking those Christmassy seats and we'll see you there!

It's half term and that can only mean one thing...back to back shows!

That's right we're off out for the school holiday and crikey are we busy! Lots of places are selling rather fast so get in there quick to be a part of the fun. Details, as ever, on our website or linked in the bio.

Oh, and no apples. Ever. I think the picture makes that fairly clear.

From Pershore to Barry. We'll see you there!

The Autumn tour continues at quite the pace! This weekend we're coming to Shrewsbury and Sale.

There's only a handful of tickets left for Shrewsbury (seven at last count) and Sale is selling fast as well. Get booking for those, and for the half term shows if you want to catch Unbelievable Science before it finishes it's run!

Soon we'll be talking exciting news about our Christmas show, but it's not even Halloween yet so I'll spare you...for now...

If you've seen the show already why not let us know what you thought of it, or tell some friends and family about it too!

Extra show claxon! The show at the Leicester Curve has almost sold out so we've added a second one at 11.30am so that all of you Leicesterians* can get your sciencey** fill!

A few of the other shows are filling up fast (I'm looking at you Shrewsbarians***) so get in quick before tickets are gone.

We're just finalising our spring tour so some more dates will be coming soon, including north of Hadrian's Wall!

*No idea if that's a real word or not...
**Nor that one actually.
***Certainly not

After the August break we're back! And what is more we're hitting the road with Unbelievable Science from September 17th.

All the dates for the tour can be found on our website, or on the final image.

And what the heck is going on in the rest of the photos? Hold your horses (gently) and strap in (not on the horses) for a little story.

Back in July Pegasus Theatre in Oxford very kindly lent us the use of their auditorium to test some exciting new systems. Systems which, should they work, you'd never know about at a show. We can now control all of our lights, sound, and projection at the mere push of a button on stage!

Mr West has been hard at work the last few months building bluetooth controllers and Mr Morgan has been learning all about lighting. The result is a seamless integrated system that you'll have to see to believe!

So come along to the tour for Unbelievable Science! But before that, a quick question - what have you spent (literal) months working on such that your life is much better but no one else will ever know about...?

Athos, Porthos, and Aramis need you!

That's right, we've only a hand full of summer shows left. Soon we'll be in:
Bedford (Sat 23rd) @ The Quarry Theatre
Margate (Sun 24th) @ Margate Beach
Mindstead (Thurs 28th - Sat 30th) @ Furzey Gardens
Leeds (Sun 31st) @ The Carriageworks

It's your last chance of 2022 to catch our rather spiffing rendition of The Three Musketeers. Come one come all, find the details on the live-dates page of the Morgan & West website. All for one!

This Thursday 14th through Sunday 17th we're coming to the North East with The Three Musketeers!

14th July Hull
15th July Otley
16th July Knaresborough
17th July Rotherham

So in anticipation of our arrival why not enjoy these action shots of Morgan & West doing what we do best. Pulling faces and looking silly.

Hop along to our website to get tickets!

July 10th Show cancelled.

We're sorry to say that due to circumstances beyond our control (that all three of us have Covid this week), we've had to take the decision to cancel the show tomorrow in Bristol.

We're all terribly disappointed as we were looking forward to playing for you all. Thanks for your understanding.
Rhys, Rob, and Peter. x

All for one and one for all! The Three Musketeers is out on tour at the moment (Kettering, Banbury, and Bristol we're coming to you soon!) and we thought it would be a good idea to take a moment to focus on our third Musketeer.

Enter Peter Clifford - someone we've known for many years and who has directed several of our shows. A man of many talents (some of which include acting and sword fighting of course) he can be often spotted in his hometown of Bristol when not crammed into the front of our van being dragged all over the country to have some fun with us.

So why not come along and enjoy Peter's perfect performances for yourself. Hop on over to our live dates page on our website to see where we're touring - you've only got until July 31st to catch the show!

It's almost time for us to dust off our hats, sharpen our swords, and do some rehearsal for The Three Musketeers!

Our big and silly summer panto is coming your way soon (check our website for dates and details). So before it all kicks off we thought you might enjoy a closer look at the artwork on the pennants that hang at the back of the set.

There's the musketeers in blue, the cardinal in red, the clocktower, and the port. All fun splashes of colour for the great tradition of outdoor theatre!

Book a few tickets and come join in the fun.

Have you been to see Unbelievable Science? (If not then you've still got a few chances left this coming half term, hop over to our website for details...)

If so have you ever wondered about the seemingly magical chemical concoctions and explosions that we have on stage?

I say we, I mean Mr West. He's the one with the chemistry knowledge and before each show he spends a lot of time painstakingly mixing up lots of different beakers of liquids and powders ready for the show.

If you want to know more about chemistry then the Royal Society of Chemistry's website has some excellent resources for things you can try at home!

Remember, we're out on tour with Unbelievable Science only for another week or so, catch it while you can.

It's time for our summer panto version of The Three Musketeers! We've had a revamp of the print (excellent work by Mr West as always) and can't wait to get it back on the road.

We're going to be performing at:

Bristol on July 10th
Hull on July 14th
Otley on July 15th
Knaresborough on July 16th
Rotherham on July 17th
Bedford on July 23rd
Margate on July 24th
Minsted on July 28th, 29th, and 30th
Leeds on July 31st

All the ticket links are on our website.

Mugging. Gurning. Pulling faces. Let's be honest, it's what we both do best, whatever you want to call it.

Some would say our entire performance style is built on the foundation of a good silly face. Those people would be right. We love a good old contortion of the muscles in the brow or the cheek leading to a laugh or wince from the crowd. You just can't beat it.

Here are some never-before-seen photos (thanks to excellent photographer Emma) from Unbelievable Science which show just how varied (haha) our nonsensical faces can be. If you'd like to see them for real then you can catch Unbelievable Science in:

7th May York Theatre Royal
22nd May RHS Rosemoor Gardens
30th May Henley-on-Thames Kenton Theatre
31st May Southport The Atkinson
1st June Stroud Subscription Rooms
3rd June London Earls Court Underbelly Festival
4th June Aylesbury Waterside Theatre
12th June High Wycombe Swan

Just hop to our website to see details.

Oh, and if you've got any photos of us pulling particularly silly faces do pop them in the comments or share and tag us with

Bonus Unbelievable Science content!

Here's a whole host of development images that Mr West created when we were designing the science show back in early 2019. Some for optical illusions that never made it in, some that did but looked very different, and also a very early idea for the print design.

What do you make of the optical illusions, can you see what they were going for?

Also any better pun science book titles than 'science and scienceability'? We'd love to see what you come up with, comment with your ideas!

The tour is still going and will be heading out in half term as well. We're going to be in...

Bedford - May 2nd
York - May 7th
RHS Rosemoor - May 22nd
Henley-on-Thames - May 30th
Southport - May 31st
Stroud - June 1st
London - June 3rd
Aylesbury - June 4th
High Wycombe - June 12th

Then it's all for one and one for all with The Three Musketeers for the summer!

Lots going on in M&W towers, come see the fruits of our labours :)
