Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrance star as real-life twin sisters June and Jennifer Gibbons in the new film The Silent Twins \u2013 and the pair have revealed how the movie posed a unique challenge for them.<\/p>\n

The film tells the strange and tragic story of the sisters, who grew up in the only Black family in a small Welsh town in the 1970s and were eventually sentenced to time in Broadmoor psychiatric hospital following charges of vandalism.<\/p>\n

And speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, both Wright and Lawrance discussed the difficulties that came with playing twins.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It was] definitely challenging because when you\u2019re playing a part, you usually are in your own head, you\u2019re trying to focus on what you<\/em> want to do, and how you can bring something together,\u201d Wright explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the difference of this project is that we\u2019re playing twin sisters, so you have to kind of put your pride aside, and just focus on the work and focus on the ways in which you can collaborate and be kind of synced.\u201d<\/p>\n
