What is Derren Brown: Only Human about?

Derren Brown is keeping the finer details of Only Human firmly under wraps - and that's exactly how it should be. What is known is that this brand-new production combines mind-reading, psychological illusion and storytelling to explore what it means to be human.

Only Human takes a closer look at our perceptions, our beliefs and the fragile line between reality and illusion. Smart, unsettling and packed with the psychological showmanship that has made Derren Brown one of Britain's most distinctive live performers, expect an evening where things aren't always quite what they seem.
