A Silent Woman is a short farce in one act by Thomas Hailes Lacy (1809-1873)[1]

Written in 1835, the author stating that it was "adaptated from a recollection of Mr. Bayle Bernard’s comedy of The Dumb Belle". First performed on 17 August, 1835 at the Royal Olympic Theatre, London.

F.C.L. Bosman (1980) has the author of the latter play wrongly as "Burnand" (or perhaps his sources had it so).
