Description: 'The Shawl' is a fascinating play about mysticism, magic and deceit, in which an apparent clairvoyant named John, shows his lover, Charles, how he manages the tricks and sleights of hand of his dubious profession. Charles suggests that they use these techniques to con his latest client, Miss A, out of a recent inheritance. But in playing the con, and maximising the deceit, John, Charles and Miss A stumble upon the mystery at the heart of the difference between fact and fiction.
