Another Kind of Silence

Review: City’s Sensual ‘Another Kind of Silence’ Envelops the Familiar In a New Wave of Theatrical Storytelling

Seductive multilingual, multicultural, multimedia “Another Kind of Silence,” now at City Theatre. contains standard plot points from relationship dramas, but the playwright has wrapped the will-they-or-won’t-theys in complexities rarely seen on stage, in a production that pushes the envelope of creativity, to achieve the goal of inclusivity.

Signs of Inclusivity: ‘Another Kind of Silence’ at City

It was no exaggeration when City Theatre announced that “Another Kind of Silence,” the world-premiere play that leads off its 2025-2026 season, “is one of the most ambitious shows the company has taken on.” Bilingual and bicultural, the plot unfolds simultaneously in English and American Sign Language (ASL), along with some Greek Sign Language, as two already-partnered queer women, cross paths in modern-day Greece and find themselves falling in love.
