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?

    Really well staged and performed by a talented and energetic cast. Slightly let down by an unconvincing ending. 4 1/2 stars if I had that option. OJS is a favourite venue. Back for Scrooge in Rouge in a couple of weeks
