Tilly No-Body by Bella Merlin

Join us for the poignant performance of Tilly No-Body by Bella Merlin at the Arcola Theatre in Hackney! 🎉

Immerse yourself in a heart-wrenching tale of love, survival, and transformation as the true story of actress Tilly Wedekind comes to life in a deserted circus setting. The gripping narrative reveals how Tilly faces the challenges of a controlling husband, renowned playwright Frank Wedekind, who diminishes her identity and pushes her to her breaking point.

But Tilly is resilient! Determined to reclaim her life, she escapes the oppressive relationship and writes her own story, transforming herself in the process. 🌟

Tilly No-Body addresses critical themes of toxic relationships, co-dependency, and the silencing of women's voices. Writer-performer Bella Merlin draws upon her own experiences with coercive domestic violence, creating a powerful reflection on identity and the transformative power of self-discovery. 📖✨

Having received acclaim at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and earning an EFFTA Award at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, this performance is set to make its highly-anticipated London premiere.
