It ain’t easy being Jack. He got sorted into Hufflepuff using the official online quiz, hates studying French, and is in love with his best friend Ollie. Dodging bullies, keeping secrets and trying to get the guy is too much for him to take. So, he changes his story one spellbinding moment at a time in pursuit of making the world a little more magical. Maybe this time he’ll get into Gryffindor.

Winner of the VAULT Festival Origins Award and an OffWestEnd.com short run commendation, the play is returning to the London stage after successful runs at VAULT Festival and Pleasance Islington: advance booking highly recommended.
