"[Acts Without Words] flows with carefully practiced detail through vignettes well-balanced and diversified in emotional tenor."
"... The company's current quartet... understands the value of restraint and how to conjure a colorful emotional palette from the most minimal of gestures and expressions. They use the Heartland's tiny black-box space, stripped bare of detail, to perfection, embellishing it with only soft spotlights, a few costume changes, occasional sound effects and a well-chosen soundtrack segueing from Bach harpsichord to French musette. At a brisk hour and a half, it's mime well spent."
