The chilling psychological thriller The Silence of the Lambs will visit Stoke-on-Trent's Regent Theatre from Tuesday 9 to Saturday 13 February 2027, with full casting now announced for the UK and Ireland tour.

Making her professional theatre debut as FBI trainee Clarice Starling is Coronation Street star Mollie Gallagher, while EastEnders favourite John Partridge takes on the iconic role of Dr Hannibal Lecter. They are joined by Emmerdale actor Oliver Farnworth as Jack Crawford and Skins star Sam Jackson as the notorious Buffalo Bill.

The company also includes Minal Patel, Jo Mousley, Lottie Amor, Mark Peachey, Andrew Joshi, Jonny Magnanti and Mary Timbrell Hill.

Adapted for the stage by two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Gina Gionfriddo and directed by Curve Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, the production brings Thomas Harris’ bestselling novel to life in a gripping game of cat-and-mouse between Clarice Starling and the imprisoned serial killer Hannibal Lecter, as the hunt intensifies for a murderer still at large.
