Synopses & Reviews
An old couple in a bare room with a high window are compelled to tell a grisly tale: A village in which people’s tongues are cut out, among other horrific tortures, making them “The Silent.” From the author of Disco Pigs and Bedbound, this is a startling Beckettian fable. It tours Scotland and England in early 2005 before beginning a run in London.
