Previews start tonight for this verbatim theatre piece from Chickenshed Theatre.
Co-produced with Creu Cymru and developed with South Gwynedd Domestic Abuse Services, the piece is based on interviews conducted with women as part of Chickenshed's outreach project, Survivors.
In The Absence of Silence interweaves excerpts of the women's own words with multimedia to create an honest, at times brutal, portrayal of what can take place behind closed doors, and the life-affirming and positive truth of what is possible when the silence is broken.
Synopsis
5 women meet on the beach for an impromptu picnic lunch, seeking some laughs and gossip washed down with a glass or 2.
As the day progresses their friendship and shared experiences reveal devastating truths from the hidden corners of their lives.
Note
Contains very strong language (spoken and projected) with content and themes which some audiences may find upsetting.
Suitable for ages 15+
