No Refund Theatre’s second show of the semester is here, in the form of “Small Mouth Sounds,” a play written by Bess Wohl with Griff Graph in the director’s chair. An ensemble cast drama about a silent meditation retreat that promises “enlightenment” to its attendees, the cast struggles through their problems mostly without uttering a sound.

The majority of the play progresses without dialogue, save for a blurted “sorry” and a handful of screams and cries, leaving the six campers to convey their troubles and thoughts through body language. The whole thing takes “showing, not telling” to new heights, and when the script does begin to “tell,” we’re all the more drawn in. Every actor (as usual, of course) conveys these ideas masterfully, to the point where, even if we don’t ever get the full picture, we can easily drop ourselves into their shoes at any given moment.

The set and direction are incredibly unique and allow for a different sort of production. Throughout the play, many different conflicts and moments play out simultaneously in a painstakingly choreographed dance. It’s unlikely you’ll notice everything after a single viewing, but that seems to be the point.

Proudly stated on the projected title card, you get a different show wherever you sit in the theater, since each of the campers’ tents is oriented towards a different section of the room. Like Griff’s production last semester, the innovative set design and effects bring the audience that much further into the world of the play.

“Small Mouth Sounds” premieres on Thursday, February 5, and runs until Saturday, February 7, in Forum 111. The show begins at 8 p.m. and runs just under two hours. If I talked it up too much (which I didn’t), NRT has a strict no-refund policy. It’s free.
