Description Detective Rob and his nervous team have seven days to catch Josephine, the tongue-cutter, before she silences everyone.

The play was inspired by one short improvisation between Kathleen Doyle and Yoka Jones four years ago and developed in the Thursday Group ensemble–shared personal examinations, and improvisation in poor-theatre-modes making metaphors around the legacy of trauma.

A story of a heroine who tries to find a path through the tangled undergrowth of unwanted memories, Silent forest is a psychological thriller of yugen-shadows, a fragmented noir in full-body mode.
