'...mind-expanding and spirit-lifting...' Mary Anne Bourke, Theatreview
Formed in 2008, Silk Tent Theatre Company’s first project was Girl with no Words; a story of self-injury that looks at the impact of mental distress on all our lives. It explores how we as humans, as professionals and as communities respond to those in mental distress.
Girl with no Words theatre production premiered at the Royal New Zealand College of GPs conference in Wellington on 9th September 2009. The performance has toured to Auckland, Clyde, Queenstown, Wanaka and Wellington. In 2011, performances are planned for Christchurch and Dunedin.
We have been encouraged by people who have seen the theatre production to produce a DVD of Girl with no Words in order for it to be seen by a wider audience.
