Shared Experience
Speechless
Tue 22 November - Sat 26 November
This event has passed.
Winner of a 2010 Fringe First Award, Shared Experience presents the astonishing story of identical twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons.
Refusing to speak to adults, the twins communicate in a private language, their only relationship being the intense and turbulent bond with each other. Speechless is a powerful portrayal of the twins’ secret world and their struggle to find a voice against all odds.
Speechless is directed and co-written by Shared Experience’s Co-Artistic Director, Polly Teale. Celebrated for her potent visual and imaginative style, Polly won the Evening Standard Award for Best Director for her own play After Mrs Rochester, which also won the Time Out Award for Best West End Production.
‘It's an astounding story, and it makes for a riveting play.’ The Independent
‘Heartbreaking... Astonishing... So good it will leave you tongue tied.' The Guardian
