Absent

You don’t know Maggie Morgan yet, but she’s been living the dream…

In 2015 and 2016, internationally renowned theatremakers dreamthinkspeak transformed Blackpool’s Winter Gardens Hotel into a vast kaleidoscopic art installation that shifted between Blackpool’s past, present and future to create a beautiful and unforgettable experience.

Absent introduced the hotel’s most notorious guest, Maggie Morgan, and its owners, international property developers Northern Leisure Holdings, and invited audiences to piece together an extraordinary picture of a changing world.

A DREAMTHINKSPEAK production commissioned by GRAND THEATRE BLACKPOOL and LEFTCOAST.
