04 Mar “Silent” – Olivier Award-Winning Play on March 14 at BITEF Theatre
After a successful performance at BITEF Theatre last year, the internationally acclaimed Irish theatre company Fishamble and actor Pat Kinevane return to the Belgrade Irish Festival. This time, they will present Silent—a play that earned them the prestigious Olivier Award.
Silent is a touching story about homeless man McGoldrig, a man who once had a beautiful life but lost everything—including his mind. Now, he revisits his past through the romantic world of Rudolph Valentino, Hollywood’s first great screen idol.
Those who saw Pat Kinevane in King last year—watching him embody Elvis Presley on stage, mop in hand, dancing, singing, and engaging with the audience—will certainly want to see him again as the lonely McGoldrig. This time, Kinevane appears not only as an actor but also as a playwright, having written the script for Silent.
The play Silent will be performed at BITEF Theatre on Friday, March 14, at 8:00 PM. Tickets are available at the theatre’s box office and online.
In 2016, Fishamble and Pat Kinevane won the Olivier Award, the highest honor in British theatre, for this performance.
The Fishamble theatre company has performed worldwide and is known for its strong support of emerging playwrights in Ireland.
The play is directed by Jim Culleton, written and performed by Pat Kinevane.
Serbian translation will be provided during the performance.
