The Story of Silenc e

ONCE upon a perfectly ordinary EVERYDAY, Ben and Dorothy Gloster (known only to themselves and us as HUSBAND and WIFE), prepare to celebrate their 10th Anniversary.   On the eve of the festivities, they notice a Stranger lurking in the alley behind their house.

The next morning, they accidentally leave the back door ajar (or was it accidental?)  Who knows, but when they arrive home from work that night

THE STRANGER

is sitting at the dinner table.  Unnerved, compelled, and not wanting to appear rude, Husband and Wife invite the Stranger to stay to dinner, ok, the party, why not,  the night…

As they desperately try to engage the Stranger, they are met with only silence.  Soon enough, their perfectly ordinary everyday marriage begins to unravel, well, first the marriage, then their minds, ok, their lives, and by morning, any sense of identity or existence they ever knew, or thought they knew…

Silenc e is a darkly comic emotional thriller that asks the question, do we ever really know the person we love?  Do we ever really know ourselves?        

In the silence, there’s a choice to make - between the lies we love… and the truth we fear.

What would you do? Would you open the door?

Would you let the Stranger in…?
