wants his house back. Eucharia wants to make an announcement…
With exhilarating theatricality and haunting honesty, Pat Kinevane’s captivating performance brings to

Homeless McGoldrig once had splendid things. But he has lost it all - including his mind. He now
dives into the wonderful wounds of his past through the romantic world of Rudolph Valentino, in this
brave, bold, beautiful production. Silent is currently wowing audiences on its extensive Irish tour and
internationally in Europe and the USA.
