+ Want to read

'Silent' is the touching and provocative 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. Described by the Irish Times as 'a moving story, which, until its end, pulses with the erratic noise of life', 'Silent' was first produced in 2011 by Fishamble, Dublin.
