The Party by Elizabeth Day. Published on 13th July 2017

We’re thrilled to announce the publication of The Party by Elizabeth Day – the much-anticipated fourth novel from Pin Drop Studio’s Co-founder.

Published by 4th Estate on 13th July, The Party is a gripping story of obsession and betrayal, privilege and hypocrisy, set in the unassailable heart of the British establishment which has already garnered comparisons to The Talented Mr Ripley, Brideshead Revisited and The Secret History.

Sebastian Faulks describes The Party as ‘Witty, dark and compelling’, Vogue calls it ‘a satirical thriller‘, Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) says ‘I practically murdered this book in an evening I loved it so much. The Party is a terrifying, hilarious, brilliantly written original with a wit to die for’.

Already a Number One Amazon Bestseller, Louise Doughty of The Observer featured The Party in Best Holiday Reads for Summer 2017.

Pin Drop at the London Design Festival

Pin Drop was recently invited by the Crafts Council of Ireland to stage a one-off narration in their fantastic space at Tent London in Brick Lane’s Old Truman Brewery. The exhibition, Vernacular, was being staged as part of London Design Festival and featured the work of over 20 designers including this amazing desk by Irish architects O’Donnell + Tuomey.

To fit in with the overall theme of the event, Pin Drop asked acclaimed Irish actress Lisa Dwyer Hogg (currently appearing at the National Theatre in Richard Eyre’s Liola – and yes, that is Lisa on the poster) to read a short story by one of Ireland’s foremost contemporary writers, Kevin Barry. Lisa read Atlantic City – a poignant, funny and telling short story that even included the opportunity for Lisa to launch into a pitch-perfect rendition of Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday. Lisa narrated while sitting in a particularly comfortable chair designed by O’Driscoll Furniture and upholstered in the finest Donegal tweed.

We had a fantastic night, enjoying free Jamesons whisky cocktails (absolutely lethal ones at that) and welcomed a whole host of new Pin Drop attendees, including the actor Stephen Rea and the designer Paul Costelloe. Thank you to Julia Ravenscroft and Ann Mulrooney and all her team at the Crafts Council of Ireland, our sponsors Audible UK and, most importantly, Lisa herself who was a really brilliant narrator.

Pin Drop at the Houses of Parliament

On 20 June, we held a Pin Drop narration in the Houses of Parliament, offering our guests an exclusive and intimate look inside these iconic buildings. Our venue for the evening was the Jubilee Room, just off Westminster Hall, which came complete with the most fantastic wallpaper Pin Drop has ever seen.
