The Amelia Project

Imploding Fictions

The Amelia Project is a secret agency that fakes its clients' deaths, then lets them reappear with a brand new identity! A black comedy full of secrets, twists... and cocoa. The series starts as a succession of interviews with clients who want to fake their deaths, then slowly a larger narrative begins to emerge... Each episode tells its own story, but we recommend starting with Season 1.

Alan Burgon on penguins, art, love and stories
A very special guest in Maty's One More Cocoa podcast studio today... it's Alan (aka Arthur) Burgon! The focus of this conversation is the episode Maine Moepirt Arthur, so if you haven't caught up on Season 5 yet, maybe wait with listening to this, to avoid spoilers. Alan talks about finding The Interviewer's backstory, his voice, his relationship with Alvina and Kozlowski, the first time the character used the f-word, and so much more. It's a fascinating conversation, and because this is One More Cocoa, expect detours and digressions about ducks and penguins, as well as cameos by Maty's cat and Alan's son (you'll have to watch the video version on Patreon for those) Sockrates also makes a brief appearance, which is a good reminder that our live shows (and screenings) in London are now just a few weeks away! Get you tickets for Laplace's Demon and Delivery After Dark at https://theatreship.co.uk and if you can't come to London, the shows will be available to stream here on Patreon for members of all paid Patreon tiers (or you can purchase livestream tickets here) Learn more about your ad choices.
