Hello everyone, John D here.
Seven shows down, another twenty or so to go before we leave this fair city. Actually, it’s not that fair at the moment due to some absolutely horrific weather. So here at Silent Towers we’re taking a little break from plying people with flyers all the while incarcerated in sticky tape, evidence of which can be found in the following image:
Things are going pretty well and the show is going from strength to strength. Our first review is from Three Weeks (the Edinburgh student paper for the uninitiated), the text of which is as follows:
Silence In C Minor
Silent Collective
There’s little time for any silence as two actors switch frenetically between characters, telling the story of two workers and their investigation into the insidious advertising company Organum. The acting and the energy make this very watchable, but the plot needs a little more tweaking and, while it is funny, there’s much more potential for humour with this slick double-act. J P Cooper plays the more uptight Alex alongside a host of others, including the love interest Cassie – excelling in the pathetic – while James Groom delivers brash and sinister characters with aplomb. A dark little satire on identity theft and office slaves which has room to grow into something even more exhilarating.
C soco, 30 Jul – 25 Aug (not 11), 9.45pm (10.35pm), prices vary, fpp230.

Not too shabby! Considering this was our very first night we’re delighted with the review. Thanks Three Weeks, you guys are all right…
Here’s a shot from the sound and lighting desk at the space, taken at last night’s performance (Tuesday 5th) for one of our best audiences. Thanks audience, you guys are all right…
Finally as an extra little treat, here’s a sample of the brand new opening music as used in the show…
