- If there's been a time when they wished magic could have helped me

In OPEN, a woman called The Magician appears to perform tricks, but there’s no illusion—she’s attempting the impossible: saving her partner, Jenny.
OPEN is a powerful, funny, and deeply moving play about love’s ability to defy hate in magical ways.
