Goodbye Horses: An Unauthorised Solo Retelling of The Silence of the Lambs is a dark comedy thriller by professional performer Michael Kinnan. One man, one twisted mind — Kinnan takes on Hannibal, Clarice and Buffalo Bill in a wild solo homage to Jonathan Demme's film. From the mind that previously brought audiences Never Let Go, this is a new tale spin through the iconic material. Running for 60 minutes at Big Belly and suitable for ages 16 and over, it carries content warnings for distressing themes, scenes of violence and strong language.
Why see this show?
A one-man dark comedy retelling of a classic thriller — inventive, twisted and best seen without eating too much beforehand. Michael Kinnan's solo craft is the entire engine of the show.
