Silent

Hopeless, helpless, in-the-way person.

Homeless McGoldrig has lost it all – including his mind. He now dives into the wonderful wounds of his past through the romantic world of Rudolph Valentino, in this brave, bold, beautiful production. 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 last year. Silent has had huge international success from Los Angeles to Edinburgh, and from New York to Melbourne, wowing audiences and critics alike.

Reviews

‘passionate one-man show…Mr. Kinevane interprets Valentino’s highly theatrical screen pres-ence to stunning effect…carefully wrought production… [he] doesn’t just demand [the audience’s] attention, he commands it. And that difference is what makes Mr. Kinevane an artist of the theater.’ – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

★★★★  ‘writing and a performance of unflagging and effortless panache that grabs your heart and squeezes tightly.’  Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

★★★★  ‘unflinching, intensely physical performance… bristling with black humour’ – The Scotsman

‘bawdily humorous and at times moving production… Kinevane moves around the stage with extraordinary grace’ – Irish Mail on Sunday
