Silence by Moira Buffini at Jack Studio Theatre

Large Print Theatre presents Silence, by Moira Buffini, directed by Jon Bradshaw, at the Jack Studio Theatre, in Brockley, south London, from 5 to 23 March 2013.

Cast includes Samantha Beart (Silence), Brigid Lohrey (Ymma), Theo Maggs (Roger), Patrick Neyman (Eadric), Lainey Shaw (Agnes ) , Daniel Brennan (Ethelred).

A provocative comedy set in late Dark Ages England. The Vikings rule the North and the Saxons the South of the country under the reign of King Ethelred. At the King's bidding Ymma, a powerful French princess, is inadvertently married to another woman. Here begins a millennial road-trip and wildly original love story that remains relevant to our own world a thousand years later.
