⭐ THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS – WORLD PREMIERE – STAGE ADAPTATION ANNOUNCED ⭐
The world premiere stage adaptation of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS has been announced.
Indigo Productions and Crossroads Live, in association with Curve, are thrilled to announce a new chapter in the legacy of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, as the global cultural phenomenon prepares to make its world stage play premiere in 2026. Acclaimed television writer and playwright Gina Gionfriddo brings Thomas Harris’ gripping literary masterpiece to the stage in a new modern adaptation directed by Nikolai Foster.
This electrifying new production will open at Leicester’s Curve theatre, where it plays from 1st – 15th August 2026, ahead of a major UK & Ireland tour.
When FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview the psychiatrist and infamous murderer Hannibal Lecter, it’s hoped his brilliant mind will help catch sadistic new serial killer, Buffalo Bill. Another girl is missing, and time is running out. But Dr Lecter has questions of his own, and now Clarice must decide: keep a safe distance, or let Hannibal ‘The Cannibal’ into her head?
Gina Gionfriddo’s theatrical adaptation delves into the psychological tension of Thomas Harris landmark novel, drawing the audience deep into Clarice and Lecter’s intelligent, intricate, and bone-chilling game of cat-and-mouse, as the FBI scramble to catch Buffalo Bill, a serial killer still at large.
Gionfriddo’s screenwriting credits include Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC), Cold Case (CBS), House of Cards (Netflix) and The Alienist (Netflix). Her plays Becky Shaw and Rapture, Blister, Burn were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2009 and 2013, respectively.
Full creative team and cast to be announced.
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is produced by Indigo Productions and Crossroads Live in association with Curve.
