Silence of the Lambs Tickets

Based on the 1988 novel by Thomas Harris, which was adapted into a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, The Silence of the Lambs is one of the most iconic and chilling thrillers in the genre. The character of Dr Hannibal Lecter has haunted our imaginations since the book was first published, inspiring spin-offs and adaptations such as the television series Hannibal. In The Silence of the Lambs, FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview the notorious serial killer and cannibal Hannibal Lecter. She hopes he can help her catch a sadistic new serial killer, Buffalo Bill, but Hannibal is equally determined to get inside her head and manipulate her to his own ends.

Now this iconic thriller will have its world stage play premiere at the Leicester's Curve, ahead of a major UK and Ireland tour. Written by award-winning Gina Gionfriddo (Law & Order, Rapture, Blister, Burn) and directed by critically acclaimed Nikolai Foster (Artistic Director of Curve, Leicester), this brilliant, electrifying theatrical adaptation will dive deep into the psychological tension of Harris’s best-selling masterpiece. Witness Clarice and Hannibal’s nerve-wracking game of cat-and-mouse come to life onstage for the first time, in a play that’s as intelligent as it is terrifying and features some of the horror genre’s most unforgettable characters. Foster said, “Harris’ novel is filled with stunning iconography and imagery that is ripe for theatrical invention. We can’t wait to see it burst to life onstage.”

Get ready to be frightened and amazed by the first-ever stage adaptation of this spine-tingling story of murder and manipulation.
