Description

Speechless is a powerful and moving portrayal of the secret world of a very special but ultimately destructive alliance between two sisters. Inspired by the true-life story of identical twin girls who refused to speak to adults, this play explores the intense and turbulent bond between June and Jennifer Gibbons.

Communicating in their own private language, the twins' relationship is marked by a unique and intense connection that is both fascinating and disturbing. This astonishing and moving portrayal of their secret world is a testament to the enduring power of sisterly love and the devastating consequences of their silence.

First performed in 2010, Speechless was a critical success, winning an Edinburgh Fringe First Award. This edition is illustrated, making it a striking and accessible introduction to this powerful and thought-provoking play.
