World Stage Play Premiere Coming to Sunderland Empire
The Silence of the Lambs
Sunderland Empire
21-26 June 2027
Prepare for a theatrical experience like no other as the iconic psychological thriller The Silence of the Lambs makes its world stage play premiere at Sunderland Empire next summer. The globally renowned story of FBI trainee Clarice Starling and the infamous Dr Hannibal Lecter arrives as part of a major UK and Ireland tour in this groundbreaking new adaptation.
Celebrated playwright Gina Gionfriddo, whose previous works have been finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, brings Thomas Harris' multi-million-selling novel to the stage. Under the direction of Nikolai Foster, Artistic Director at Curve Leicester, audiences will be drawn into the chilling psychological game between Clarice and Lecter as the FBI races against time to catch serial killer Buffalo Bill.
When a new serial killer emerges, FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview brilliant psychiatrist and convicted murderer Hannibal Lecter in hopes his insights might help catch the sadistic Buffalo Bill. Another victim is missing and the clock is ticking. But Dr Lecter has his own agenda, forcing Clarice to make an impossible choice: maintain professional distance or allow the notorious cannibal into her mind.
Thomas Harris' quartet of Lecter novels has sold over 50 million copies worldwide and spawned multiple acclaimed film and television adaptations featuring legendary performances from Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster, Mads Mikkelsen and others. Now, for the first time, this gripping tale of intellect, horror and psychological warfare comes to the stage in a production that promises to be both electrifying and terrifying.
