For one night only, The OLLIE Foundation is bringing the moving, magical one woman show, Finding Magic, to the Trestle Arts Base as part of The Art of Grieving Festival.
Ahead of her run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, writer and therapist Beverley Bishop will be performing her beautiful show in St Albans on Friday, August 5 at 7.30pm.

Finding Magic is a unique, insightful, and emotive one woman show. Equal parts moving and magical, Finding Magic is a captivating story of a mother’s loss, longing, love, laughter, and solace.
Beverley uses storytelling, film, and clowning to share how she found her magic again following the loss of her son Jess to suicide.
Beverley said: “Finding Magic is about my ups and downs and the grief process so far, but it’s also broader than that. It’s about finding life force, finding magic, and looking at what makes us feel alive.”
The OLLIE Foundation is a suicide prevention charity based in Hertfordshire, set up in 2016 by three parents who had tragically each lost a son to suicide.
