Silence is a 1999 play by Moira Buffini, loosely based on the history of Dark Ages England but also drawing on New Millennium concerns at the time of its writing. It is set in Canterbury and Cumbria and on a journey between the two. It received its London premiere at the Arcola Theatre in August 2005.
Silence, Lord of Cumbria, a woman in disguise
Roger, a priest
Ethelred, King of England
Ymma, a princess from Normandy
Agnes, Ymma's servant
Eadric, Ethelred's bodyguard
“Some things must be said, and there are times when silence becomes an accomplice to injustice.”
“Silence is always beautiful, and a silent person is always more beautiful than one who talks.”
“He who believes in Allah and the Last Day should either utter good words or better keep silence; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should treat his neighbour with kindness and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should show hospitality to his guest.”
“Silence has weight. It’s not just between sounds—it is a sound.”
“Sed taciti fecere tamen convicia vultus.”
“Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.”
