Edward Blank is extraordinary.
An exceptional literary talent and ghost writer, Edward Blank has the ability to change Mills and Boon into James Joyce before breakfast. The demand for his work is so great that the letterbox clatters non-stop with tapes for transcription and he never leaves the solitary world of his tiny magnolia flat.
But Edward is far from alone. Breaking out from his fractured conscience are an anarchic family of imagined companions, each with a hook in Edward's life that pulls him deeper into fantasy. His mind is broken and Edward can’t leave.
Edward seems happy in his ordinary-extraordinary life until, one day, a voice on an audio tape changes everything, challenging how far he will go to protect his fragile reality when visions of his forgotten past begin to creep in.
Familia de la
Noche
Familia
de la Noche are an award winning theatre company crafting something new
from the accepted conventions of theatre. A Pandora’s box of actors,
clowns, designers, puppeteers and musicians, they have sworn a solemn

charming and raucously entertaining. Building on the success of The Greatest Liar In All The World (premiered
at Wilton's 2013), Familia de la Noche are returning to Wilton's for
the London preview of their new show and will be performing at the
