Speechless

An extraordinary story of two girls’ struggle to be heard…

Shared Experience presents the astonishing story of identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons.

Refusing to speak to adults, the twins communicate in a private language, their only relationship being an intense and turbulent bond with each other. SPEECHLESS is a powerful portrayal of the twins’ secret world and their struggle to find a voice against all odds.

The winner of a Fringe First Award 2010, SPEECHLESS is directed and co-written by Co-Artistic Director of Shared Experience, Polly Teale. Celebrated for her potent visual and imaginative style, Polly won the Evening Standard Award for Best Director for her own play After Mrs Rochester, which also won the Time Out Award for Best West End Production.

Shared Experience is the Resident Company at Oxford Playhouse.
