‘Critics Choice’ Lyn Gardner – THE GUARDIAN 2016
Last year Edinburgh fell under the spell of Australia's most delusional dancing love
wizards, Peter and Bambi Heaven. This year Gypsy Wood and Asher Treleaven
return to the Assembly George Square with a brand-new hour of death defying stunts,
high-powered romance and catastrophic magic with their second show ‘Peter and
Bambi Heaven When Love Becomes Magic’.
After the enormously popular and critically acclaimed success of their first outing
Peter and Bambi Heaven The Magic Inside – the duo went onto the semi-finals of
France’s Got Talent, headlined their version of the Royal Variety Show and
performed a short residency in Las Vegas.. Unfortunately due to an incident involving
a small fire, and Visa issues associated with prior convictions, the Las Vegas season
finished early. The silver lining is, Peter and Bambi are coming back to Edinburgh;
Las Vegas’s loss is Edinburgh’s gain! Although the cracks are starting to show in the
relationship, nothing can stop these self-help love magicians from showing each and
every one of you how to achieve limitless success in life and love. The tricks are
bigger, the self-belief more powerful and the fuck-ups better than ever.
2016 was an extremely tumultuous year for the real life couple behind the show,
which included them packing up house, moving overseas and touring a brand new
show, in the midst of a divorce. On the 10th of January 2016 Gypsy Wood and Asher
Treleaven decided to end their eight-year marriage, they began full time rehearsals
the next day. The show was a raging success and went on to tour five capital cities
over seven months across two continents. Upon hearing this one can’t help but ask,
“What was it like pretending to be at the beginning of a flourishing fictional
relationship on-stage and ending an actual relationship backstage?” We don’t know if
this is art-imitating life, life imitating art or a glimpse into some insane parallel
universe where as one door closes another opens and out pops a Magical 80’s
Power Couple from the Gold Coast. Whatever sorcery is at work here, it's a
testament to both Gypsy and Asher that they not only managed to work together, but
that they flourished as performers under such duress.
This year they’re back working with Cal McCrystal and ready to deliver their
indefatigably enthusiastic brand of terrible magic and irresistible life affirming idiocy.
As many a punter has said after an hour locked in the tractor beams of Peter and
Bambi Heaven, ‘if you don’t come out of this show high on life, you’re dead inside’.
