What is Houdini’s Greatest Escape about?
The world’s greatest entertainer, Harry Houdini, and his wife Bess, go on the run when they are framed for murder by a corrupt chief of police who is in the pocket of an eccentric criminal gang and the superstar medium, Agatha. As they fight to clear their name they meet a host of outrageous characters (played by just 2 actors), make daring escapes and even, briefly, join the circus!
