Theater Review: “Have I No Mouth”

“Have I no Mouth,” currently at Barishnikov Center at 450 West 37th street, is as moving a performance as I have experienced in quite some time. “Brokentalkers” is the sponsor and I strongly suggest you experience the performance.

The real life mother, son and the therapist, who helped them after a family tragedy are on stage together. They talk about and work through their emotions all done in a poignant, humorous at times, and overall uplifting fashion.

The mother is Ann Cannon, her son is Feidlim Cannon, and Erick Keller, who also plays the deceased husband/father Sean in some amazing drama, is the therapist.

No spoiler alert needed as I say it is balloons that keep filling with tension, all done with meaningful, humorous and most of all riveting words and gestures. It never bursts our joy and we truly are better having breathed its emotions.

The performances run through Sunday January 26th. Mondays are dark, weeknight shows commence at 8, Sundays at 3 p.m. Do not miss “Have I No Mouth.”  Click for info, tickets
