Overview

• The Midnight Bell reunites ten characters in intertwining wordless storylines that explore loneliness, longing and failed relationships among regulars at a Soho pub.
• Terry Davies’s score combines original jazz themes with period recordings, driving the action and allowing dancers to lip-sync their innermost emotions.
• Lez Brotherston’s set evokes fog-smeared Fitzrovia backstreets while Paule Constable’s lighting shifts from warm glows to cold greys to reflect changing moods.
• Standout performances by Michela Meazza, Liam Mower and Alan Vincent convey nuanced emotional depth through expressive choreography.
• Currently running at Sadler’s Wells until June 21, the production will continue its UK tour through early October 2025.
