“Phillip Neil Martin turns

a chamber ensemble

into something rich

and sometimes rapturous” The Times on Shifting Mirrors

“lushly poetic, full of the

kind of quirky detail you’ll

find in Cormac McCarthy

or William Gaddis” Time Out New York

A young man reeling from the tragic death of his

younger sister flees to New York City. He takes an

uneasy refuge in books and reinvents himself as a writer.

Across a decade and a half that follows the former

piano prodigy tries to cope with the ramifications

of an tragic accident that tears his family apart and

shatters the American dream.

A one man play by 2006 Fringe First Award winner

(Finer Nobler Gases) Adam Rapp, with music

commissioned from Phillip Neil Martin.

Peter McDonald performs Nocturne. His stage credits

include Glengarry Glen Ross at the Apollo Theatre,

Aristocrats for the National Theatre and Days of Wine

and Roses for the Donmar Warehouse.

The Almeida Theatre is one of the most dynamic

theatre companies in London. Described by The Times

‘as one of the world’s greatest theatres’ the Almeida has

a strong commitment to staging drama which is high

quality, brave and dynamic.
