Silent House – Edinburgh 2019

2-26 August 2019

Since 1947, the Edinburgh International Festival has brought powerful and significant work to delight and challenge the capital’s residents and visitors. Packed into just over 3 weeks of intense cultural opportunity are superb examples of artistic expression from around the world, with performances of top class opera, theatre, dance and classical music.

Experience some of Edinburgh’s grandest venues, and to complement the performances on offer, a range of participatory events, talks, screenings and conversations with the artists themselves.

In 2019, The Silent House was presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, one of the world’s largest celebrations of performing arts. The production was the only Iranian theatre production presented at the festival that year.

Written and directed by Mehdi Mashhour, The Silent House was staged at the PQA venue in the centre of Edinburgh for two performances. The production attracted the attention of audiences and critics during its presentation.
