Puffs
August 2025
For seven years, a certain boy wizard went to a certain wizard school and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story.
This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been designed to save the world, Puffs is inspired by the series of books “who shall not be named” and is a comedy for anyone who has ever felt like a secondary character in someone else’s story.
The play gives a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three new heroes just trying to make it through magic school. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal rejects with a thing for badgers. A hilarious and heartfelt epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be. Please note that Puffs is not an official part of the Certain School of Magic and Magic franchise.
