'Silence of Lambs' gets put on in Oxford theatre (10)

'oxford theatre' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'silence of lambs gets put on' is the wordplay.
'silence' becomes 'sh' (I've seen this in other clues).
'of lambs' becomes 'elian' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gets' is an insertion indicator (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'put on' becomes 'don' ('don' can be a synonym of 'put on').
'elian' enclosing 'don' is 'eldonian'.
'sh'+'eldonian'='SHELDONIAN'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
