A new theatrical adaptation of Thomas Harris’s psychological thriller, ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, was announced to tour the UK and Ireland, with a world premiere scheduled at Leicester’s Curve theatre.

The production, written by Gina Gionfriddo, features John Partridge as Hannibal Lecter and Mollie Gallagher as Clarice Starling. As the production moves to venues such as the Festival Theatre, the staging has been described as utilizing a “grey-scale aesthetic with a multi-level structure,” including a corridor of cells and a glass box to facilitate fast-paced narrative transitions.
