Dr Hannibal Lecter will see you now…

Come face to face with the chilling cultural phenomenon The Silence of the Lambs as it makes its world stage-play premiere in 2026. Based on Thomas Harris’s gripping literary masterpiece, this electrifying new play sets the definitive psychological thriller loose in the Grand Opera House next November.

When FBI trainee Clarice Starling interviews psychiatrist and infamous murderer Hannibal Lecter, it’s hoped his brilliant mind will help catch sadistic new killer, Buffalo Bill. But Dr Lecter has questions of his own. With another girl now missing and time running out, Clarice must decide: keep a safe distance, or let Hannibal ‘The Cannibal’ into her head?

Written by the award-winning Gina Gionfriddo and directed by the acclaimed Nikolai Foster, The Silence of the Lambs gets you closer than ever to the iconic thrills and terrifyingly memorable characters of the landmark novel.

The clock is ticking. Book now.
