Celebrating the world of words

The Flight of Millicent Stanley is an immersive animated projection, sound and light installation created for an indoor space by Electric Egg. Step into “Stanley’s Horologists” shop and be transported to the high street of Georgian Lincoln, where you will encounter Millicent Stanley, the young clockmaker’s apprentice. Millicent dreams of inventing wild and wonderful machines. One day, when the renowned aeronaut Mr Green comes to town, an excited Millicent wins the chance to take flight with him in his balloon, an experience which sparks an obsession. Eager to fly again, Millicent dreams of the heavens and embarks on her very own adventure to invent and construct her very own magnificent flying machine.

The Flight of Millicent Stanley is a 13-minute multidimensional show that combines multiple animated projection-mapped works, lighting design and spatial sound design within a physical “theatrical set” of Stanley’s Horologists shop, where the clocks, the drawing board and the set come to life. This all combines to immerse the audience in Milicent’s world of wonder and tell Millicent’s inspiring tale of flight, invention and a touch of fantasy.
