The STILL is co-created with Laura Sampson to test the possibilities of combining live sound with storytelling.
Following the sell-out success of our three-night performance of THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH in summer 2024 (see below), I’m delighted to announce that over the first three Saturday nights in February 2025 epic storytelling is back. Join us at The All Good Bookshop for BEOWULF.
There’s a recipe for renown: ‘Save the day. Beat monsters. Gift your reward to the right receiver.’ And don’t get old.
Beowulf is destined for renown: he’s made sure of it. He knows his history, and he knows his enemy. But there are always other enemies, and the ‘truth’ of a history always depends on its tellers …
Dive with Minnie Wilkinson and Laura Sampson and sound artist Sam Enthoven into a mere of epic heroes – a time and place where it’s not about living, it’s about living on. To do that, you have to win. To win, you have to fight. To fight, you have to forget you’re afraid to die. Book all three nights for the special advance price of £20 here.
Before this the most recent project was an ambitious one too: in August 2024 I joined storyteller Laurence Ashcroft for a unique chance to perform one of the oldest and greatest stories humanity ever told – THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH. Taking place over three consecutive Friday nights at The All Good Bookshop, this summer was epic. Audio from all three nights is on Bandcamp now. A six-part video of the whole show is on Vimeo starting here.
Since starting THE STILL Laura and I have been thrilled to work with some of the finest storytellers and sound and visual artists around, taking shows to theatres, festivals including VAULT and Bloomsbury and… less usual spaces(!) all over London and elsewhere.
