Review: THE SILENCE AND THE NOISE, Streaming
by Louise Penn - April 18, 2023
Raw, brutal, twisted, and full of rich wordplay, this play makes its political points and highlights a relationship which uses regret, mistakes, and teasing to hide what is really happening at its core. It is less the star-crossed young lovers of Shakespeare than the smack-stained children of a modern wasteland.

by Guest Blog: Sophie Craig - April 17, 2023
