<p>&#8220;Derren Brown has tonight collected the second Olivier Award of his career, winning for his mind-boggling West End hit Svengali in the Best Entertainment and Family Award category.</p>
<p>The entertainer and master of psychological trickery was first recognised by the most prestigious of theatre awards in 2006 for his second West End outing Something Wicked This Way Comes. Since then the television star has appeared on stage in shows Mind Reader – An Evening Of Wonders and Derren Brown – Enigma before returning with Svengali, arguably his darkest show to date, last summer.</p>
<p>When it was announced earlier this year that the show will <a href="https://tickets.delfont-mackintosh.com/gateway.aspx?E=N&#038;QL=S962|VNOV|RIN5|DW14|GShowDatesCombo.aspx">return to the West End for a limited run this July</a>, Brown spoke of his love of performing in the theatre, saying: “I enjoy the stage shows more than anything else. Live on stage is the best place for what I do: it&#8217;s unpredictable and the audience knows there&#8217;s no possibility of judicious editing.”</p>
<p>Audiences were indeed baffled by the unbelievable tricks and wonders on show in Svengali, but also thoroughly entertained by Brown’s natural showmanship that had the audience not only shaking with fear but with laughter too.</p>
<p>The acclaimed production was co-written by Brown and long-term collaborators Iain Sharkley and Stephen Long, and directed by Polly Findlay.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>“A baffling, bamboozling and beautifully bewitching display of devilry. When it comes to eye-popping illusions Brown is the only game in town” </em><br />
<strong>****Evening Standard </strong></p>
<p>Be prepared for a theatrical roller-coaster ride as the acknowledged master of psychological illusion returns to the West End with his 2012 Oliver-nominated show DERREN BROWN: SVENGALI.  This is the last chance to see the sell-out live show that has mesmerized the nation, performing in over 150 venues</p>
<p>SVENGALI will reside at the Novello Theatre from July 12 – Aug 11 2012.</p>
<p>Derren, who professes that he loves writing and performing on stage more than anything else, says:</p>
<p>“&#8221;I enjoy the stage shows more than anything else. This one is fun, dark, funny, freaky. Live on stage is the best place for what I do: it&#8217;s unpredictable, and the audience knows there&#8217;s no possibility of judicious editing. Plus we&#8217;ve put in new material for this year and the show has grown and changed on the road more than any other.&#8221;</p>
<p>Svengali is written by Derren Brown and Iain Sharkey with Stephen Long and produced by Michael Vine, Andrew O&#8217;Connor &amp; Corrie McGuire for Objective Talent Management.</p>

<p>There are a few tickets still up for grabs  at some of the venues for the final leg of the Svengali tour. </p>
<p>Derren&#8217;s live shows are immensely popular and often sell out well in advance. </p>
<p>However, we have it on good authority that if you move with the swiftness of an oiled gazelle you stand a good chance of snatching up one of the last remaining tickets for Derren&#8217;s mind-warping show. </p>
<p>We&#8217;re telling you about it first because you&#8217;re a blog reader and we do so love our blog readers. </p>
<p>So get cracking! Tickets are selling like hot cakes on a cold day and when they&#8217;re gone; they&#8217;re gone. </p>
<p>You can browse the list of venues over on the <a title="Tour Dates » Svengali » Derren Brown" href="http://derrenbrown.co.uk/tour-dates/svengali/">Svengali Tour</a> page. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
