A Place Not Mine – The Musical
Drayton Arms Theatre, London, SW5 0LJ
Sunday 29th November 2026 - Monday 30th November 2026
There is a place where magic is not just something you’re born with — it’s something you learn.
At Novaterra, young magicians come together to discover their powers, master their magic and find where they belong. But when a student who still doesn’t know what kind of magic he possesses finds himself within its walls, everything begins to turn upside down.
Through spells, magical lessons, friendships, love and loss, A Place Not Mine reveals that some of life’s most important lessons cannot be taught in a classroom. A story about mental health, losing someone you love, finding the courage to change — and, above all, learning to accept yourself.
Because sometimes, the greatest magic is discovering who you are.
