Silence of the Lambs 2026 Tour
THE ICONIC
PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
A WORLD STAGE PREMIERE
Dr Hannibal Lecter will see you now…
Come face to face with the chilling cultural phenomenon THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS as it makes its world stageplay premiere in 2026. Based on Thomas Harris's gripping literary masterpiece, this electrifying new play sets the definitive psychological thriller loose in a city near you from next July.
When FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview the psychiatrist and infamous murderer Hannibal Lecter, it's hoped his brilliant mind will help catch sadistic new serial killer, Buffalo Bill. Another girl is missing, and time is running out. But Dr Lecter has questions of his own, and now Clarice must decide: keep a safe distance, or let Hannibal 'The Cannibal' into her head?
Written by the award-winning Gina Gionfriddo and directed by the acclaimed Nikolai Foster, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS drips with tension and gets you closer than ever to the iconic thrills and terrifyingly memorable characters of the landmark novel.
Age Guidance: 15+. Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Please note this production contains scenes of threat, violence and murder, strong language, sexual references and harassment, mutilation and body horror, psychological intensity, childhood trauma and onstage prosthetic human remains.
