Off Book was started in 2012 as a collaboration between Fiona Angwin, Martin Williams and Ian Nenna to produce a show called Dickens, Drood and the Best of Tomes. The year after, Fiona, Martin and Dan Jeffery collaborated on a nationwide tour of Puck of Pook’s Hill. Over the years we’ve collaborated to create a number of different shows as well as having pursued their own projects under the Off Book name.
In the North West, Off Book has been commissioned to produce several shows and work with fellow actors and creatives in a collaborative fashion.
Our Current Team
Martin Williams is one of the co-founders of Off Book. A graduate of John Moores with BAs in Drama and Creative Writing, and MRes in English, Martin turns his hand to acting, directing and writing equally. Martin is particularly interested in adaptations and how they are used in Theatre in Education.
You? We’re always looking for new collaborators. If you’d like to join us as a collaborator please reach out. We’d love to hear from you.
