THE SILENCE OF SNOW: THE LIFE OF PATRICK HAMILTON
Written and performed by Mark Farrelly (Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope)
Directed by Linda Marlowe
This riveting, kinetic solo show portrays the life of one of the great English writers of the inter-war years, Patrick Hamilton. Hamilton was a literary star aged 25, producing hit plays Rope and Gaslight, novels Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky, Hangover Square and The Slaves of Solitude.
But Hamilton was also an alcoholic, whose wit became increasingly mordant as his inner and outer worlds collapsed. Set in an electro-therapy clinic in the 1950s, and covering the entire sweep of Hamilton’s turbulent life and writing, The Silence of Snow entertains and challenges in equal measure, asking audiences: why do so many of us get through life without feeling we ever truly knew another person?
The performance is in support of MIND, the UK's leading mental health charity.
**** “You won’t be able to take your eyes off this magnetic actor Mark Farrelly. He inhabits the character of Hamilton with a blazing fluidity” The Times
**** “Farrelly’s performance is electric” What’s On Stage
**** “Wonderful passion and charisma…a complete embodiment of a complex character” Exeunt
**** “Horrifyingly funny snapshot of the wit, novelist and playwright…brilliant” The Spectator
