About Houdini’s Great Escape

Harry Houdini, the death-defying escapologist, is considered the world's greatest entertainer. Along with his wife Bess, he embarks on one of the most dangerous stunts ever. However, their plans are derailed by the death of King Edward, and they are framed for his murder by a gang of criminals in cahoots with the chief of police. Can Harry and Bess escape the plot and clear their names? How is their rival, the superstar spiritualist medium, involved? The tale is brought to life by four hard-working individuals who play multiple roles on an incredibly hard-working set.
