SILENCE! The Musical, the notorious unauthorised parody of the Academy Award-winning film The Silence of The Lambs, is bringing its singing serial killers, tap-dancing lambs, and gleefully unstoppable bad taste to Edinburgh. As a rookie FBI agent matches with the brilliant but insane Dr. Hannibal Lecter in an intense serial killer chase, the most horrific of subjects are paired with a chorus of singing lambs narrating the action and breaking out into cheerful show tunes with unprintable song titles.
Originally premiering in 2005 off-Broadway, SILENCE! combines whip-smart dialogue, shocking songs, and over-the-top performances in a parody that’s popular with seasoned fans of the film and FBI rookies alike. Spinning the horror genre to include the absurd, SILENCE! The Musical will have audiences laughing in the face of danger. One most definitely for the adults, SILENCE! is the perfect final showstopper for a day of theatre at Fringe.
