About this show
Inspired by the silly, timeless humour of Charlie Chaplin, Mr. Bean and classic cartoons. Follow a quirky, daydreaming Vietnamese schoolgirl on a journey to discover their true calling. As the mundane routines of school life twist into unexpected and imaginative adventures, transcending time and space, a heart-warming story of purpose and self-discovery unfolds. Shhh! reminds us that our dreams, like the objects mime can create, are often hidden in plain sight. That purpose isn't a destination, but a reality we finally see, one that has been within us on our journey all along.

The children sitting in front of me were in fits of laughter from the very beginning, and I could completely understand why. This is a real treat for audiences of all ages.
— Theater and Arts Review (5 out of 5 stars)
Oh my gosh this is a brilliant show, sheer delight from start to finish!
— ScotsGay Arts (4 out of 5 stars)
This family friendly clown show, which originated at the Lang Spot arts centre in Vietnam, may indeed be wordless but it is far from silent comedy.
