ABOUT THE SHOW

Originally written for BBC television, Talking Heads 2 has since been
performed in live theater and televised on PBS' Masterpiece Theater.
Bennett's "talking heads" are anything but boring or monotonous.  The
characters he portrays in this series of thought- provoking monologues
represent a menagerie of repressed souls.  Although the subjects of
these monologues are very different, the underlying feelings of
loneliness, sadness and regret are very much the same for the characters
that Bennett portrays with witty candor.  

 

For this production, the Beck Center welcomes back the first couple of
Cleveland theater, Dorothy and Dr. Reuben Silver, who bring their
talents to the Beck stage once again as they present new pieces from
Bennett's repertoire in this compelling night of theater.  The Silvers
performed in Beck's 2003 production of the original Talking Heads.  This
production, co-directed by Dr. Reuben Silver and Curt Arnold, focuses on
two very different monologues from the series - Playing Sandwiches,
featuring Robert Hawkes as Wilfred, a middle-aged parks maintenance
worker with a secret past and Waiting for the Telegram, featuring
Dorothy Silver as Violet, an aged rest home resident who has recently
suffered a stroke.
