Don’t miss The Vanishing Elephant this June at Buxton Opera House

In association with Buxton Opera House, Cahoots NI present the incredible hit production The Vanishing Elephant this June – a mammoth tale you will never forget!

Opu, a young boy in Bengal, dreams of one day becoming an elephant trainer. When he befriends Janu, an Asian Elephant, their friendship is the first step on an adventure so huge, it spans decades and continents.

Years in the future, Opu, now an old man, hears that world famous magician Harry Houdini will vanish an elephant, live on stage in New York City. Could it really be Janu, Opu’s old friend, so far from home? He too must bravely make the long journey into the unknown to find out.

This moving story of friendship, belonging and one incredible journey from Bengal to the bright lights of Broadway, presented by Cahoots NI from Belfast, Northern Ireland, was named a ‘Critics Pick’ in the New York Times, hailing it an ‘alluring spectacle’.
