Fishamble
Silent
by Pat Kinevane
“Hopeless, helpless, in-the-way person”
SILENT is the touching and challenging story of homeless McGoldrig, who 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. Dare to laugh at despair and gasp at redemption in this brave, bleak, beautiful production for which Fishamble and Pat Kinevane won an Olivier Award in 2016.

WINNER Scotsman Fringe First and The Herald Angel, Edinburgh Festival 2011

Kinevane moves, in a striking performance under Jim Culleton’s effective direction, with the elegance of a dancer and the engaged poise of a boxer. It’s a startling combination…the caress of poetry and the disarming direct address of stand-up…a moving story, which, until its end, pulses with the erratic noise of life.
The Irish Times
Beautiful, compelling, heartbreaker of a show
Belfast Telegraph
