In the Silence of Words: A Three-Act Play

In the Silence of Words is not just a story of loss. It also questions the validity of personal sacrifice in a world that seeks to preserve the status quo over the needs of the soul.

Reviews
"In the Silence of Words is a work destined for the stage. The dialogue between characters is so fluid and natural to the scene that little actual stage direction is required to understand the choreography of the situation at hand. The play's characters sweep in and out of the stage on their speech, and with a careful economy of words, they manage to build brilliant, lasting personalities in the mind.
"In the Silence of Words" covers a range of topics, from loss to love to unmet expectations. These issues are baked into their respective characters' roles and handled expertly by the author, who takes great care to humanize even the most selfish personalities.
This is a triumph for Cendrine Marrouat" - Justin Smith
"You know a play is well written when you can see the performance in your mind just from the dialogue. Cendrine Marrouat accomplishes this with In the Silence of Words. This story is very moving with the loss of Cassandra’s mother and the resulting questions about self sacrifice. It’s almost a mystery as we pick through the past, but the heart of the play is a moral and emotional tug of war. A beautiful read, especially if you love the theatre!" - Joshua Grant
"In the Silence of Words is a play which says much in what is left unsaid. The three dots… of more to come are left hanging time and again with unfinished thoughts that the reader is left to fill in on their own. But I think that is the point, because there is so much meaning in that which is left unspoken.
Through unspoken words, this play tackles several real life issues in a relatable manner that will touch readers, (or viewers), hearts – loss, self-sacrifice, searching for the self – these are life issues most of us have dealt with at one time or another in our own lives, giving rise to many opportunities for those “A-ha!” moments, when we can truly relate with Marrouat’s characters.
This play is well-crafted, with a thought provoking plot and relatable characters which move the story forward." - Kaye Lynne Booth
