About Will Pickvance
Will Pickvance returns to the Fringe for two nights only with Piano Noir — a signature blend of improvised piano and theatrical storytelling at The Dissection Room. The conceit: the pianist is dead, stuck in a cosmic waiting room, contemplating the show he never quite managed to make. The 60-minute performance combines virtuosity, humour and poignancy in a format that is part concert, part theatre, part storytelling. The audience is welcome to stand or move around, though seating is available. Suitable for ages 12 and above. Tickets are £17.
Why see this show?
An immersive hour that sits somewhere between concert and theatrical experience. Will Pickvance's blend of improvised piano and storytelling is genuinely distinctive — the premise of a dead pianist in a cosmic waiting room is as intriguing as it sounds.
