Five Kinds Of Silence
by Shelagh Stephenson
directed by Kirsty Harbron
|
 Five Kinds of Silence tells the shocking story of a family living under the power of the vicious Billy, who physically, emotionally, and sexually abuses his wife, Mary, and their daughters, Susan and Janet.
This play is about control, madness and how the family is bonded by abuse, which has been perpetuated through their silence. It is non-linear and non-chronological in structure, told via a series of monologues and interviews, piecing together the family's life under Billy's tyranny.
Please note: This production contains strong language and adult themes and, as such, is not suitable for children.
As a first act to 'Five Kinds of Silence', up-and-coming singer/song-writers Janna Fox and Charlotte Grimes will be performing an original acoustic collection of songs written with the play in mind.

Beauty Within
Physical theatre devised by Saskia Ulrike Schilling
|
 Our personal stories go to make up who we are as individuals. Every moment of every day our storylines touch those of others, sometimes fleetingly or randomly or sometimes with direct and strategic precision. As these conscious or unconscious connections take place what imprint remains?
Through a physical exploration using the individuality of each performer, beauty within will be discovered.
