THEATER REVIEW: SILENT LAUGHTER * * 1/2 (2 and a half stars out of 4).
External link: http://silentlaughter.com/
This was a very clever idea that could have been done better. The idea is that none of the actors speak, and there are no sound effects. Plus, all the costumes, sets, and props are all black and white. It's a very cute idea, and really original and different. And it was funny and entertaining, but not as much as a really good old silent movie. Plus, they really over-used the dialogue printed on the screen. A real silent movie typically has no more than a hundred words of dialogue, but this had more like a thousand or so. If they're just going to have an ordinary conversation, then what's the point of making it silent, anyway?
This is The Official Record.
