The cast and crew of ‘Five Kinds of Silence’ have completed all five of their festivals in the One Act Drama circuit, and won each and every one, along with a host of awards!

This is a fantastic achievement for all involved, from the stellar multi-award winning cast on stage, to the crew who pack and drive the van around the country every night.
