An extraordinary story of two girls struggle to be heard
Arcola Theatre London
Shared Experience (Bronte, After Mrs Rochester, Jane Eyre) presents the astonishing story of identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons.
Refusing to speak to adults, the twins communicate in their own private language, their only relationship being an intense and turbulent bond with each other.
Speechless is a powerful portrayal of the twins secret world and their struggle to find a voice against all odds.
