Rudi Schneider has an extraordinary gift…and it just might destroy his life. Driven by a father’s obsession and his astonishing paranormal abilities, Rudi finds himself caught between two worlds, the living and the next. Torn between science, fame, and love, Rudi must choose between the doctor who discovered his talent, his loving fiancée, and a ghostly woman with a dark secret in his quest to become the greatest spiritual medium of all time. Based on a notorious true story from post-war 1920s Europe, Sleight of Mind is inspired by reported events surrounding the most documented paranormal psychic in history. From the co-playwright of The Drowning Girls, WCT presents the World Premiere of this thrilling new psychological drama filled with mystery, romance, and magic.
