Who We Are, How We Do.


SOPHIE REGAN TILLEY...

...is an actor, writer and storyteller. She is currently completing an MA in Acting at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. Her Masters thesis focuses on developments in modern British storytelling.







EDWARD ROBERT MILLINGTON...

...is a sound artist, currently studying for an MMus in Creative Music Technology at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. His most recent project has been Cosmopolis, a large-scale tape piece inspired by Stoic cosmology and diffused in 5.1 surround sound, that will premiere at RWCMD in May 2009.



BENJAMIN NEIL SCOTT MARTIN...

...is a graphic design guru.


WHEN NOTHING HAPPENS...

  • ... is a story show aimed specifically at adults. It consists of a mix of live narration, an original electroacoustic score and images projected behind the performer, an omniscient narrator who tells the story of Owen Grace, a clerk who works in the factory mill which serves the fictional Derbyshire town of Milton Mundy.
  • The suicide of Owen's partner, Sarah, sparks a journey of discovery which leads him to a locked door and a decision which will change both his life and that of his unlikely accomplice Edie, the elderly landlady in whose house he finds a home.
  • The show has been born out of Sophie’s research thesis, and aims to diversify and challenge opinions about what storytelling is, and can be.

CHECK BACK SOON! As Buxton approaches we’ll be updating this blog with written extracts from the show, audio clips and a high budget Hollywood-style trailer.
