The Story of William, Who Died
This is the story of a man who dies.
London, 1890.
A young artist sets himself the task of surviving in a city thriving from an industrial revolution.
Haunted by illness, his only escape is through the worlds he creates in his art.
Mask, physical theatre and poetic language fuse to tell the story of a life swept up into a world that may just be too dark.
It’s the brightest of candles that burn the quickest.
