Silver Fish is a podcast series featuring a number of story driven monologues written by Tom Holt and performed by a group of talented actors. Each episode will run roughly 10-20 minutes long and will feature a different actor. Set at Greenwich Observatory, the series explores the minds of eight individuals who spend their evenings watching the sunset, travelling deep into their thoughts as they are transfixed on the sky. But what is it that's bringing these strangers together? Is it the sky? Or something else?
A huge thank you to Olly Wood (@owoodmusic) for the theme tune and to Eve Kitchingman (@eeiaaiia) for the art work. Check them out!
The series finale is here. And it's featuring my sister, Pooface. Sorry, I mean, Emily. But who is she? And what's special about her that links her to the others? Will we actually find out who the railings woman is? A challenging piece. Acted wonderfully by my sis.
See you for series 2!
Sidenote: I'm no editing genius.
The penultimate episode. Smooth, Dulcet tones with a menacing edge are on the menu for this enigmatic character. There are few better at providing that than Matthew Morgan-Stevens. Have a listen as he meanders his way around this complex mind. I hope you're sitting uncomfortably.
This is a really difficult piece to act. So who better to ask than the mighty Susan Raasay? It really is an honour to have Susan take part. She has so much wisdom and is one of the kindest most supportive people you could ever dream to meet. Have a listen as she proves that she really is a masterful actor and brings this character to life in a way that very few could. Thank you.
The astonishingly talented Caitlin Townend has blessed us with her natural deliverance of this troubled character, as we explore her damaged mind and try to figure out who on earth this 'railings woman' is. Can this 'Sky Cultist' give us an answer?
More than honoured to be able to showcase the incredible talent of one of my closest friends and house mates, Harry Chandler. This man has a plethora of accents in his locker, and his ability to make any accent sound so natural will always amaze me. Listen to him here as he brings this unique character to life and takes us through the troubled mind of this 'nice guy'.
Join the masterful Lee van Geleen as he perfectly portrays the thoughts and feelings of this particular Art Enthusiast in what is an awe inspiring performance.
Join the amazing Beth Mayne as she brings her character to life and delves deep into the mind of this sky watcher.
The first episode is performed by the incredibly talented Tuwaine Barrett. Join him as he oh so naturally brings us into his character's world and starts us on our journey through the minds of the Greenwich Observers.
