About

 

1508. Strasbourg. A woman dances compulsively, soon hundreds join her.
1962. Tanzania. A schoolgirl’s laughing fit spreads from village to village.
2011. USA. Cheerleaders are overcome by uncontrollable twitching. 
2023. London. A group of women suddenly lose the ability to speak.

When a group of women in London mysteriously fall silent, no one can figure out why. The team at an all-female podcast decide to investigate and end up on a journey of discovery, uncovering more than they bargained for.

Devised with the Almeida’s 2019-20 Young Company (18-25) and performed at The Yard Theatre in May 2022.
