This play is a lie
In Sam Holcroft’s razor-sharp A Mirror, storytelling becomes a dangerous act. In a world where the state controls what can and cannot be said, a writer is commissioned to produce a carefully approved narrative, but begins to push against the limits of censorship, with unpredictable and unsettling results.
Holcroft, best known for Rules for Living (National Theatre), brings her signature wit and precision to this gripping exploration of power and truth. Both darkly funny and deeply unnerving, A Mirror has been praised for its originality and urgency, offering audiences a provocative and thrilling theatrical experience.

 Georgie Ashby moved to London when she joined the Fourth Monkey Theatre Company, where she trained for two years in Devising and Physical Theatre, including being a part of an exciting original piece titled The Woman and the Canvas, which debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe. After graduating in 2018, she largely took a step away from acting, bar a role in the short film The Magical World of Miracles in 2022. Having joined the Tower in July this year, A Mirror is her first production with the company. |
 After studying Drama at the University of Exeter, Cameron Jones began his professional career as an actor-musician at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, earning an Off West End Award nomination as the Narrator in Hot Stuff before playing the lead, Johnny Hamlet, in the world premiere of Roll Over Beethoven. He went on to build a career as a singer-songwriter, garnering support from the likes of BBC Introducing and Clash Magazine. A Mirror marks Cameron’s second production at the Tower since joining in April of this year. |
 Katie Francis is excited to be taking part in her first production with the Tower, playing Mei. She has recently rediscovered her love of theatre after dabbling at university, and kicked off the year in KDC’s adaptation of The Misanthrope at Baron’s Court Theatre. Working as a journalist, she hopes to gain more experience both on and off the stage, and will next perform as part of the Cockpit’s Voila! Theatre Festival. |
 Peter Molloy is an actor from Dublin. Relatively new to acting, he joined the Tower in late 2024. Since he began treading the boards, he has been in After Life (2025) and Translations (2026) at the Tower, and has also performed during the Solstice showcase with KDC Theatre (2025). |
 Helen McGill has been a Tower member since 2014 and has been in a variety of productions since then, most recently as Jean in Labour of Love, Alice in Hangmen and, for SEDOS, Elizabeth in The Crucible. |
 Feiyang Yang has been a member of the Tower for four years, coming from no theatre background whatsoever. She has had the chance to learn as many aspects as she wanted over that time, mainly focused on directing. Having assisted in four very different plays (Port Authority, Twelfth Night, No Room at the Inn, and The Night Alive), she directed her first two short plays, Distant Early Warning and Homemakers in 2023, followed by How To Disappear Completely and Never Be Found in 2024. Feiyang also loves to learn about sound design and has worked on a few plays in that role. |
