Silence
by Moira Buffini

:: read more about the production

"Is the apocalypse at hand? What is the proper response to the threat of further deadly attacks by foreigners of a different religion? What is the nature of God in a savage world? ...These are among the timely questions raised eloquently in SILENCE, the witty, provocative, splendidly performed prizewinning comedy drama by the British playwright Moira Buffini that will conclude an all-too-short monthlong run this Saturday...SILENCE deserves to be seen."

"At the juncture in the road where Shakespeare's cross-dressers meet up with Monty Python's blithering knights, playwright Moira Buffini pitches her medieval traveling-circus tent, SILENCE. Fun to watch…compelling, taut, and effervescent…the nimble physical comedy is a treat. Buffini's wit triumphs."

This New York debut of Moira Buffini's 1999 medieval comedy, SILENCE, is just about an all around pleasant surprise. With a premise that sounds as though the action was destined to lead to yawns, this perky, witty, inspired production is a credit to both the author and to Synapse Productions.
