About
Starring John Partridge (EastEnders, Cabaret) as Hannibal Lecter, Mollie Gallagher (Coronation Street) as Clarice Starling, Oliver Farnworth (Emmerdale) as Agent Jack Crawford, and Sam Jackson (Skins) as Buffalo Bill, this gripping new production brings these iconic characters terrifyingly close. When FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview the psychiatrist and infamous murderer Hannibal Lecter, it’s hoped his brilliant mind will help catch a sadistic new serial killer, Buffalo Bill. Another girl is missing, and time is running out. But Dr Lecter has questions of his own, and now Clarice must decide: keep a safe distance, or let Hannibal ‘The Cannibal’ into her head...? Written by the award-winning Gina Gionfriddo and directed by the acclaimed Nikolai Foster, The Silence of the Lambs drips with tension and gets you closer than ever to the iconic thrills and terrifyingly memorable characters of the landmark novel. The clock is ticking. Hunt down a ticket and book now... before it's too late. Contains scenes of threats, murder and disturbing content; very strong language, including historically contextual homophobic language; depictions of human remains; sexual references and harassment; flashing lights, haze and loud noises, including gunshots. Age 15+; under 16s with an adult.
