Theater Review; Listening Closely to the Sounds of 'Silence'
2002
Overview
Silence is seldom golden. Neither is Michael Datcher's long one- act play \"Silence.\" The title character, Birmingham Silence (Jenoyne Adams), is a famous performance artist who's conducting a brutal boot camp for disciples who want to teach at her studio. She claims to have narrowed the pool of candidates from thousands to just four--all, like herself, African American women. She'll pick only two. The setup sounds like \"A Chorus Line\" set in the performance art world. Silence was also an abused child. Her minister father applied pliers to her tongue and taped a pacifier into her mouth to keep her quiet. How Silence overcame all that to become an artist who has been profiled on \"60 Minutes\" is never explained.
