Botallack O’clock written by Eddie Elks and performed by Dan Frost and Jason Calder

A rehearsed reading of Botallack O’clock written by Eddie Elks and performed by Dan Frost and Jason Calder

For the last two years of his life, Roger Hilton took permanently to his bed, in his cliff top cottage on the coastline of Botallack, Cornwall. Here he continued to work, painting over the side of his bed on sheets of paper laid on the floor. A small downstairs room became his bedroom, living space and studio, where Roger would work through the night with only his thoughts, his imaginings and a temperamental radio for company.

Botallack O'Clock is a funny, moving and thought–provoking journey into the creative mind of one of the most unique voices in post–war British art.

Having premiered at the Half Moon, Herne Hill in 2011, Botallack O”Clock transferred to the Edinburgh Festival 2012 and then on to the 59E59 Theaters, New York as part of the Brits Off

Broadway Festival 2013. Botallack O”Clock returned to London in 2016 and 2018 at the Old Red Lion Theatre, Islington.
