About the show
Tilly No-Body is a theatre show by Andy Jordan Productions and Dr ACT, performed at Bramley. Set in a deserted circus, drama, humour, music and songs tell the true story of actress Tilly Wedekind and her controlling, famous husband, Frank Wedekind (Spring Awakening). When Frank robs Tilly of her acting roles, she is reduced to a Nobody. Broken-hearted, she attempts suicide. Following her recovery, she reclaims her career, discovers her voice and writes her own story. The show asks: why do we stay in relationships long after they've turned toxic? The show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Tickets start from £10.
Why see this show?
A true story told in a deserted circus setting — Tilly Wedekind's fight to reclaim her voice and career after being silenced by her husband has the kind of specificity that makes historical theatre feel urgent. Music and humour keep it from becoming heavy.
