Lightup Shoebox presents: Silence by Moira Buffini

Wordplay Series / Live at Timucua: Silence ain’t your Grandma’s medieval drama! Come see an unexpected entourage of Princess, Viking, Priest, Maid and Knight challenge the madness of the English King when modern ideas meet medieval times. Princess Ymma of Normandy is forced by England’s King Ethelred to marry a teenage Viking, Lord Silence of Cumbria. After Ymma unveils a shocking secret about Silence’s true identity, husband and wife must flee through the mud of England with their unlikely entourage, escaping an enraged despot’s murderous rampage. Winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Silence sparkles with deliberate clashes of period and style, high melodrama, and nimble physical comedy.
