The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey

For what can you say to someone when their heart’s been cleft in two?
Nothing...
Nothing...
Nothing...
No words will ever do.

The winner of the 2024 FringeReview Outstanding Theatre Award at Brighton Fringe, The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey is a broken fairy tale for broken people.

In a whimsical land of dark fantasy, Magnus Coffinkey must repair a broken bell atop an impossibly high tower. Success will make his deepest desire come true – whereas the price of failure is a permanently broken heart and a lifetime of guilt, pain and sorrow.

Using fairy tale as a gentle tool for processing and trying to make sense out of personal trauma and grief, The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey is charming, honest and devastating.
