The Hill Station, Kitto Rd, SE14 5TW


Following his much-acclaimed Full House performance of Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope at The Hill Station last year, Mark Farrelly returns with his riveting, kinetic solo show portraying one of the great English writers of the inter-war years. Patrick Hamilton was a dazzling success in his twenties, producing hit plays Rope (filmed by Hitchcock), Gaslight, and classic novels Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky, Hangover Square and The Slaves of Solitude..



But Hamilton was also an alcoholic, whose wit darkened as his inner and outer worlds collapsed. Covering the entire sweep of Hamilton?s thrilling life and writing, The Silence of Snow entertains and challenges in equal measure, asking audiences: why do so many of us get through life without feeling we ever truly knew another person?



A huge success with critics and audiences, The Silence of Snow has been performed almost 100 times across the UK, collecting over ?10,000 in audience donations for MIND, the UK?s leading mental health charity.

    • I don't think this is only a left wing thing. The Tories kicked themselves out of government after splitting over Europe, and then decapitating 3 (or was it 4?) leaders. UKIP was effectively a split from the Tories to pick up the anti-European vote; it then split and Farage set up Reform - and then split from the people who he set it up with. And then Rupert Lowe set up Restore to pick up the Tory and Reform fringes that think those parties are too woke.
    • There has been some movement in the work on the playground but it appears to be to remove the bags of materials that had been placed near the works.
    • You're sounding a bit Reform there aren't you @malumbu Because this time four years ago he, and his party, were calling on voters to do the polar opposite. Actually, I would probably be quite fun on Question Time - you know those sanguine pragmatists who treat all politicians the same and aren't blinded by their own ideology and actually insist on proper answers - one of those pesky floating voters who actually nearly always determine the outcome of elections. @CPR Dave you pointedly show how far-left parties always kill themselves from within - because the rag-tag collection of various fringe groups always leads to one thing - infighting. We all know it won't end well for the Greens.    
    • Mal. Yours is a very idealistic portrait of Margaret Thatcher. That’s not the case and I standby what I’ve written.
