FISHAMBLE'S SILENT

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. As Fishamble celebrates 11 years of this Olivier Award-winning play, dare to laugh at despair and gasp at redemption in this brave, bleak, beautiful production.

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
