1 Video View·Nov 6, 2018

Meet Drew Colby, a man whose shadow can do almost anything. He makes enchanting shadow animals and fabulous shadow lands and even funny shadow people, all with just two hands! Be amazed as shadow crabs creep from the sea, a shadow dog chases a shadow cat and not one, not two, but three colourful shadow elephants trumpet the end of the show!

“A bare stage with a small light projecting onto a large blank screen. The audience of young children and their parents sits in anticipation as a lanky young man in a trilby crosses the stage, smiles and the lights go down. This time, as he crosses in front of the light, his shadow appears behind him. Cue a lovely pantomime-like sequence in which we see his shadow but he doesn’t: “it’s behind you!” squeaks an excited little voice from the audience. And then the magic begins.” - Pamela Hall, The Croydon Citizen
