Silence is a provocative comedy set in late Dark Ages England. The Vikings rule the North and the Saxons the South of the country under the reign of King Ethelred.

At the King's bidding Ymma, a powerful French princess, is inadvertently married to another woman. Here begins a millennial road-trip and wildly original love story, that remains relevant to our own troubled world a thousand years later.

Silence was originally commissioned by the Royal National Theatre Studio, and was winner of The Susan Smith Blackburn Award.
