About This Event

Sitting (In Silence) is a play at Summerhall featuring Patrick O'Donnell. The story focuses on a father who feels out of place at a meditation retreat.

The meditation retreat is supposed to help them find inner peace. Dad (Patrick O'Donnell, Vikings:Valhalla) is out of place from get-go. He's loud, rebellious and charming in a way that has everyone rolling their eyes, including his daughter (Kitty Falcon). Inspired by true events, this haunting tragi-comedy will leave you reflecting on the silence that divides us and what healing really means. Could those brief moments of laughter and connection ultimately be what saves us? Winner of Farnham Maltings Emerging Artist Award and Community Award 2025. In partnership with Dad La Soul, Papyrus and Start The Conversation.
