A meeting of memory, chance and the impossible. The Lost Things is the latest work from the world-renowned illusionist Scott Silven, created with theatre maker Graham McLaren. It is an intimate evening of storytelling and illusion that asks a simple question: what have you lost, and what might you find here, together?
The stage becomes a quiet woodland. A small tent glows. Photographs and fragments surface. Silven’s calm presence and precise craft guide a line of revelations. You do not watch from afar. You take part. Names, moments and choices from the room shape what unfolds. Predictions land with quiet force. Connections appear where none seemed likely.
This is theatre made for now. It treats the audience as collaborators. It honors the ordinary objects and people we carry with us. It trusts that what we share in a single evening can alter how we see the days ahead.
Come for the mystery. Stay for the conversation it begins. The Lost Things offers attention, presence and connection. It leaves you with a question only you can answer: what did you lose?
