You've Gone Quiet by Cerys Duffy

The news is in and you are trans.

In You’ve Gone Quiet, you play Beth. A struggling journalist whose best friend demands that she helps her get pregnant. But when Beth turns that into an article, the breaking news breaks her right back.

Writer Cerys Duffy and Director Andy McLeod bring a fierce, funny, and heartfelt story that tackles the media head-on. Told in second person, you’ll be put directly in Beth’s shoes. You’ll experience everything as a trans woman in 2026 – including being silenced.

Created by Open Handed Theatre, a Brighton-based company using stories to transform the suppressed into the spectacular. Featuring Shane Convery (BBC’s Blue Lights) and Gennifer Becouarn (BBC’s The Gold)
