Mark Farrelly (Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope) presents his riveting, kinetic solo show portraying the life of one of the great English writers of the inter-war years. Patrick Hamilton was a dazzling success in his twenties, producing hit plays Rope (filmed by Hitchcock) and Gaslight, and classic novels Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky, Hangover Square and The Slaves of Solitude.
But he was also an alcoholic, whose wit became increasingly mordant as his inner and outer worlds collapsed. Set in an electro-therapy clinic in the 1950s, and covering the entire sweep of Hamilton’s turbulent life, The Silence of Snow entertains and challenges in equal measure, asking audiences: why do so many of us get through our lives without feeling we ever truly knew another person?
