Cells
 

CELLS. A university science lab. A kebab shop at 2am. An online gaming forum. Two strangers’ lives become unexpectedly intertwined. Alan Bennett meets The Streets in this tender and uplifting new musical film, giving voice to the lives of two everyday blokes in search of connection...

 

Words and direction: Poppy Burton-Morgan

Music: Ben Glasstone

The Hunger
Never Too Late

The King of Nothing
 

THE KING OF NOTHING is a madcap, lo-fi two-hander take on the Hans Christian Andersen's Emperor's New Clothes, in which two “Swindlers” (aka actors) use an apparently improvised set and puppets to play all the characters and playfully fool the audience into imagining all kinds of things that plainly aren’t there...
