Five Kinds of Silence

“No one said nothing. Janet, me, mum, dad. And no one else did either. But they knew, they saw. All that silence.” Billy is a ferocious drunk, abuser and dictator to his wife and two daughters; bound to live by his rules, under his regime, under his roof. But with a chance of freedom, can they ever truly be free? A dark chilling tale of fear, madness, and confusion. First staged in 2000 with a cast including Tim Piggott-Smith and a winner of the Writers’ Guild Best Original Play award.
