Silent
Silent
By Pat Kinevane
Directed by Jim Culleton
Running time: 90 mins
Age: 14+
Hopeless, helpless, in-the-way person.
SILENT is the touching and challenging story of homeless McGoldrig, who once had splendid things. But he has lost it all – including his mind. He now dives into the wonderful wounds of his past through the romantic world of Rudolph Valentino.
Dare to laugh at despair and gasp at redemption in this brave, bleak, beautiful production for which Fishamble and Pat Kinevane won an Olivier Award in 2016.
*****
Critical acclaim for Silent…
“Kinevane moves, in a striking performance under Jim Culleton’s effective direction, with the elegance of a dancer and the engaged poise of a boxer. It’s a startling combination… the caress of poetry and the disarming direct address of stand-up… a moving story, which, until its end, pulses with the erratic noise of life.”
-The Irish Times“beautiful, compelling, heartbreaker of a show“
-Belfast Telegraph“sparkles with unsettling intensity and physicality…morbidly humorous…smart,
perceptive direction… GO“
-LA Weekly“sensational… amazing“
-LA Post
