The world stage adaptation of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS premiered on August 1 at Curve in Leicester, England, and will tour across the UK and Ireland through June 2027. Adapted by Gina Gionfriddo and directed by Nikolai Foster, the production stars John Partridge (EASTENDERS, CABARET) as Hannibal Lecter, Mollie Gallagher (CORONATION STREET) as Clarice Starling, Oliver Farnworth (EMMERDALE) as Agent Jack Crawford, and Sam Jackson (SKINS) as Buffalo Bill. In a review for The Guardian, Mark Lawson praises the play as a “daring…shock to the system." THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was originally published by St. Martin's Press in 1988.
