THE SILENCE OF SNOW: THE LIFE OF PATRICK HAMILTON
Written and performed by Mark Farrelly
Directed by Linda Marlowe
Mark Farrelly Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope, Howerd's End, Jarman
presents his riveting, kinetic solo show portraying 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 Gaslight which gave us the modern term 'gaslighting',
and classic novels Hangover Square and The Slaves of
Solitude.
But Hamilton was also an alcoholic, whose wit darkened as his
inner and outer worlds collapsed. Covering the entire sweep of
Hamilton’s thrilling life and writing, The Silence of Snow
entertains and challenges, asking: why do so many of us get through
life without feeling we ever truly knew another person?
