The iconic psychological thriller
A world stage premier
The Silence Of The Lambs

Dr Hannibal Lecter will see you now...

Come face to face with the chilling cultural phenomenon THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS as it makes its world stage play premiere. Based on Thomas Harris’s gripping literary masterpiece, this electrifying new play sets the definitive psychological thriller loose in Nottingham this September.

Starring John Partridge (Eastenders, Cabaret) as Hannibal Lecter, Mollie Gallagher (Coronation Street) as Clarice Starling, Oliver Farnworth (Emmerdale) as Agent Jack Crawford, and Sam Jackson (Skins) as Buffalo Bill, this gripping new production brings these iconic characters terrifyingly close.

When FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview the psychiatrist and infamous murderer Hannibal Lecter, it’s hoped his brilliant mind will help catch sadistic new serial killer, Buffalo Bill. Another girl is missing, and time is running out. But Dr Lecter has questions of his own, and now Clarice must decide: keep a safe distance, or let Hannibal‘ The Cannibal’ into her head...?

Written by the award-winning Gina Gionfriddo and directed by the acclaimed Nikolai Foster, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS drips with tension and gets you closer than ever to the iconic thrills and terrifyingly memorable characters of the landmark novel.
