Play Without Words, Ahmanson Theatre - LA (2005)

Cast: Anthony (Sam Archer, Ewan Wardrop & Richard Winsor), Glenda (Michela Meazza, Anjali Mehra, & Emily Piercy), Prentice (Darren Ellis, Steve Kirkham, & Neil Penlington), Sheila (Maxine Fone & Valentina Formenti), Speight (Darren Ellis, Alan Vincent, & Ewan Wardrop)
I listed these the opposite of my normal cast listing, since Play Without Words is a truly unique play. Every one of the people listed above were in the play the night I saw it.

As one would expect, Play Without Words is all to music. There are no words spoken by anyone in the cast. It is all choreographed movement to music and it was amazing. Apparently, the reason there are several people playing the same character at the same time is that if there was just one, it would look like they were just moving any which way and it wouldn't be clear how perfectly choreographed the whole show is. To see two or three people doing exactly the same movement at the same time in the same way in different parts of the stage was really amazing.

Play Without Words is a unique theatre experience and I definitely think you should try to see it if you have a chance.
