A time-warped rendering of the Osiris myth inspired by the life and work of 20th-century magician Benjamin Rucker, famously known as Black Herman. It’s a fantastical tale of love, legacy, and the universal struggle for self-preservation.
“I am over the moon that I get to develop Black Cyrus at Lifeline! Working with this amazing company is the fulfillment of a dream I’ve held since I was an aspiring theatre-maker, fresh from university. There’s no better place than Lifeline Theatre to tell a story about making magic and achieving the impossible,” said Housley.
