From the award-winning team of cultured nerds who brought you Shakespeare's Ghostbusters and Shakespeare's Terminator the Second, THE REST IS SILENCE: A SHAKESPEAREAN THRILLER is filled with firsts. This is the first Shakespeare mash-up show written by a local creative team comprised of John Reid Adams (Shakespeare's Ghostbusters, Shakespeare's Terminator the Second, Shakespeare's Reservoir Dogs) and Brett P. Carson (Annie Todd, The Demon Orphan of Fleet Street - 2010 Orlando Fringe Patron's Pick on four performances, Quills). The production boasts a full set designed and built by Bud Clark Theme Design (Menopause: The Musical, Elton John - Billy Joel: Heart and Soul Tour, Britney Spears HBO Specials) and original costumes by Katherine Batt. This is also the first mash-up show performed outside of a theatre festival and will be the most ambitious production mounted in the Timucua Art Foundation's performance space.

Set in 1895 in a burgeoning American city, a terrifying puzzle must be solved: Who is serial killer Buffalo Bill? Clarice, a homicide officer trainee, finds herself navigating mazesto unlock the mystery. With the help of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, brilliant psychiatrist and violent psychopath who is serving a lifetime behind bars for acts of murder and cannibalism, Clarice may be the bait to draw him out.
