Synopsis:

"This new play by Paul Edmonds takes the audience on an emotionally charged journey through the depths of a disturbed psyche. The action takes place in a delapidated bedsit were a young man has raped a girl and now holds her hostage at gun point. We know the gun will be fired eventually, the question is who will be the victim. Edmonds has crafted an extremely stark and complex thriller and as director fully realises the potential of the script. The violence is truely frightening and the battle between the two characters leaves us breathless until the climatic ending. Flashes forward to conversations with police, friends and family add to the tension but are seen as images of only a possible future. As Louise, Trine van Thielen-MacPhail is superb, alternately defiant, vulnerable and helpless. The honours of the evening go to Andy mcQuad, whose psychological rapist has to be one of the most frightening characters ever to have appeared on the fringe stage. Two silent Screams is a remarkably intimate piece of writing requiring an enourmous amount of trust between actors and director. On this occasion the whole came together to create an explosive piece of provocative theatre", The Stage
