2018.10.7. Small Mouth Sound - a play

10/7, Sunday. Small Mouth Sounds at Artist Repertory Theatre. 6 broken individuals gathered in a silent retreat for 5 days, their interaction with each other (not through words). The guru's voice shines from a loud speaker once awhile.

No intermission. It's very funny. I really like the stage set: it was able to rain! I enjoyed the play, but not its ending. Almost like the playwright Bess Wohl doesn't know how to end. Nor did I like the monolog of the guy who broke his skull in a climbing accident. It's too long, even though nicely delivered by the actor. I also don't understand the purpose of having someone who doesn't speak English. What's the meaning of the last word he uttered: ocean.
