"Leaves you moved, refreshed and, yes, maybe even enlightened." -New York Times (Critic's Pick)
In
the overwhelming quiet of the woods, six runaways from city life embark
on a silent retreat. As these strangers confront internal demons both
profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide with the achingly
human need to connect. Filled with awkward and insightful humor, Bess
Wohl's beguiling and compassionate new play brilliantly captures the
unique eloquence of a silent retreat and asks how we address life's
biggest questions when words fail us.
A major hit of the 2015-16 Off Broadway season with two sold out extended runs, Small Mouth Sounds is "wry and observant . . . long on emotions and short on words" (Daily News).
