The Silent Twins

[Naderaization]

this is so fucking BOOORING!! I can't believe how I waste 3 minutes of my life watching it!

[denallman1]

Myself and my identical twin sister were contracted to do the play about the twins in the late 80's for the Glasgow Council and Edinburgh Festival. We had to read the book then make a journal about our lives, before learning a script and acting, singing and improvising their `TWIN'S" lives.... I have never seen the film myself. I just remember being really drained after the performance.

I really want to see the film to! Its called a documentary by some websites but i think it is a mix of real film footage and acted scenes.

I saw a doc about them on tv when i was a kid and it really fascinated me then. i guess it must have been that same film 'the silent twins'. dvdnwll do you know where i can watch a copy? or anyone else? i have lookd hard!

Another film about June and Jennifer Gibbons? I'm looking forward to it.

Jennifer died when they were released from Broadmoor. June is still alive and living in a town near Haverfordwest with her partner.

They have made a film about them.

what book

[nrm333]

great book.

[Trixxieheart]

whoa that was pretty disturbing I read that book.

[DolceVita]

i read it too - about time someone made a movie about it

[ksol1460]

Someone did -- Jon Amiel, back when the book came out. I can't hear Satie's "Waltz for Two" without thinking of them.
