Details

Three lives, two worlds, one choice. Mary is newly married and feeling invisible. Pamela is struggling to hand in her resignation. Sam's reality is beginning to play tricks on him. When something inside them changes, all three discover a way out of lives in which they no longer fit. Now they must choose between the existence they have always known and an exhilarating new one. The Silents explores the power of fantasy and the price of taking your own path. The Silents has been devised through workshops blending ensemble based theatre practice with real life testimony. The development involved gathering stories from performers, members of the larger community and those with experience of mental health issues. Developed with the support of Old Vic New Voices, the Oval House, the Tristan Bates, the Albany and Brighton’s Nightingale Theatre.
