Shared Experience and Sherman Cymru return to Cardiff (fresh from a critically-acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe) to tell the extraordinary story of identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons.
Refusing to speak to adults, the twins’ only relationship is their intense and turbulent bond with each other. Speechless is an astonishing and powerful portrayal of the twins’ secret world and their struggle to find a voice against all odds.
Listen to actor, Anita Reynolds share her thoughts about Speechless
