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, beautiful production for which Fishamble and Pat Kinevane won an Olivier Award in 2016.
Join us after select performances for community conversations moderated by Solas Nua staff and featuring special guests from DC organizations working to end homelessness in our city. Discuss the themes in Silent with your fellow audience members and discover how you can get involved with our partner organizations.
