Liz Toonkel: 'Magic for Animals'
Magic for Animals is an unapologetically witty and insightful one-woman show employing sparkling, incisive humor and magic to conjure laughs and hard-hitting truths. In Magic, Liz Toonkel explores pressing issues of animal welfare, climate change, and sexism through a continuous personal narrative woven throughout each illusion, ultimately paving a way forward with empathy and self-awareness. Edinburgh critics exclaim that “Liz Toonkel achieves the impossible, fusing heartfelt sleepover confessions with insane animal magic” (To Do List) and note how “the audience waits on her every word” (FringeReview).
“The piece is clean, heartfelt, and demonstrative of a level of craft that will make it a Fringe Festival standout.” Andrew Childs, Broadway World
