Those Little Words was born from a want to animate the inanimate by the way that I responded to, moved around and talked to a mannequin. It became a performance about love, clichés and all Those Little Words we can never get quite right while complicating ourselves in relationships. See my media gallery for a slideshow...

Following the successful performance at The Camden People’s Theatre on March 14th, Those Little Words will now be performed as part of I am Still Your Worst Nightmare at The Arnolfini, Bristol on the weekend of April 26th/27th...more info following soon.

I Love You Just The Way you is an intimate storytelling performance that lasts just under fifteen minutes. The audience are invited to gather around a map of London as I rebuild the city in miniature according to memory, experience, inexperience and observations. It is the story of how London promised me out of suburbia and what I found when I got there. It is also hints at the little stories; the tiny ticks that developed when I tried to become a fully fledged Londoner, how Londoners travel, how Londoners don't travel and the strange yet familiar sights that make London what it is.

Are there words niggling inside you? Words that you wanted to say but never did? Let loose those words to a plastic person and become a writer and collaborator of a piece that sees the recital of the words that you wish you had said but never did.

Come and visit Dr Millicent Milligan's impassive and impressionable Mannequin Therapists! Take a seat and take control as the Mannequin Therapist begins to ask you questions. You are participant, patient and protagonist in an opportunity to get those words off your chest.
