The Silence and the Noise
By Tom Powell, Directed by George Turvey
★★★★ ‘A delicate love story [of] tenderness and tragedy.’ The Guardian
Daize has a sharp tongue and a sharper blade. Ben has killer trainers and not much else. She’s determined to protect her mum from his drug-dealing boss – but can two neglected teenagers change their destinies?
Soon these natural enemies start to find something in each other no adult has ever given them.
Winner of the 2021 Papatango Prize from over 1,400 scripts, Tom Powell’s extraordinary play beautifully portrays two young people finding hope together.
Papatango Theatre Company and Pentabus Theatre in association with Park Theatre.
