Breakdown
About the Play:
Six refugees from city life embark on a five-day silent retreat deep in the woods with a renowned guru. As they begin to confront what ails them, from heartbreak to illness to overactive libidos, their vows of silence bump up against their need to connect -- and the ever-present threat of bears. Funny, strange and provocative, SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS is a new play that asks how we solve life’s biggest questions when words aren’t enough.
SEEKING:
JOAN:
late 40’s. A therapist and sex educator. Warm, open and compassionate, she is also incredibly, mind-bendingly angry underneath.
JUDY:
about 50, Joan’s partner. Works at O magazine as a top editor in the art department. She’s the kind of person who only needs four hours of sleep per night—she’s direct, competent and capable. She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and, as the doctor said, she “will not have a good outcome.”
ALICIA:
around thirty-ish, from Southern California. She is the kind of person who manages to make a lot of noise even when she’s “in silence.” She recently went through a very bad breakup and is looking for something-- or somebody--to make her feel okay again.
NED:
A thirty-nine-year-old Jewish guy from Great Neck who works for a non-profit called Earthwatch and has had a severe run of bad luck worse than the worst country western song. Anxious, insecure, and angry.
RODNEY:
mid-thirties, ageless, fit, gorgeous, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, teaches yoga in New York and the Hamptons. Though he is married, his extensive man jewelry does not include a wedding ring.
JAN:
fifty-ish, from a small town in Finland. He does not speak much English. He is pale and sweet, with a wide-eyed, continually curious air about him, like a sprite or a woodland creature. He is a pastor at a small, Lutheran church back in Finland.
TEACHER:
Any age. A disembodied, androgynous voice with a strange, slightly accented way of talking. The androgynous tone might be the result of some kind of sickness, or might be just the way the teacher sounds. TEACHER is never seen, only heard.
