Tilly No-Body

Why is romantic love so complicated? 
Why do we stay in relationships when they're no longer healthy? 
What does it mean to be an actor?

TILLY NO-BODY: Catastrophes of Love is a fact-inspired solo play, which tells the remarkable true story of recovery 
from a toxic relationship. Written and performed by Bella Merlin, directed by Miles Anderson, TILLY NO-BODY is inspired by the life and loves of theatre icon Frank Wedekind (Spring Awakening, the Lulu Sex Tragedies) and his actress-muse-wife Tilly. 

This YouTube channel includes a series of micro-documentaries - THE ACTOR-CHARACTER BOND - which explores how Tilly's life (described in her memoir "Lulu, The Role of My Life") has gradually become a role in Merlin's life.
