Homeless McGoldrig 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, in this brave, bleak, beautiful new production. SILENT is currently wowing audiences on its extensive Irish touring and has been invited to prestigious festivals in the UK, Europe and USA.
Fishamble: The New Play Company is an internationally acclaimed, multi-award winning company dedicated to new work for the theatre. Recent productions presented on major Irish and international tours include THE PRIDE OF PARNELL STREET by Sebastian Barry, and FORGOTTEN also by Pat Kinevane.
