Silence
by Moira Buffini
directed by Stefan Escreet, designed by Elizabeth Wright
Friday 18 June - Saturday 6 November,
Studio
Viking bloodshed, hallucinogenic drugs and a cart-chase from Canterbury to Cumbria! Behind every great man stands a great woman and Ymma of Normandy was Queen to both King Ethelred and King Canute. But in this deliciously imaginative play, Ymma is betrothed to Silence, Lord of Cumbria, and must undertake a perilous journey North in the company of Eadric Longshaft and a priest named Roger.
Author of West End hit Dinner and co-writer of Jordan (Theatre by the Lake 2007), Moira Buffini’s award-winning comic drama is a road trip through Dark Ages England with a cast of characters inspired by history and all living on the edge of destruction.
