A typical end of the millennium story involving cross dressing, hallucinogenic drugs, confused sexuality, alternative religions, and apocalyptic dreams ... end of the first millennium, that is. A not-so-pure Maiden is sent to marry a not-so-manly Lord, who is advised by a not-so-celibate Priest, and protected by a not-so-insensitive Thug in an England ruled by a King who won't get out of bed. Silence premiered at The Door, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, in October 1999.
