Bill Bowers Beyond Words
Written & Performed by Bill Bowers
Directed by Scott Illingworth
BEYOND WORDS is a collection of Mime, Music, and Monologues: a poignant journey that continues Bowers' ongoing investigation of silence in our culture.
Set against the backdrop of “small-town America,” BEYOND WORDS takes the audience on a funny and poignant journey of sound and silence.
One of the most acclaimed mimes in America today, Bill Bowers' eloquent movement evokes the deepest truths of the human condition. Often compared to Chaplin and Keaton, Bowers has truly created a style all his own. Bowers is a student of world-renowned mime Marcel Marceau, and has performed and conducted workshops throughout the U.S, Europe and Asia. His acclaimed original shows have been produced Off-Broadway to critical raves
“No matter the subject, “Beyond Words” demands close attention…. engaging to the eye and ear.”
The New York Times
“For a mime, Bill Bowers has a lot to say. And that’s all to the good…vivid, hilarious.”
The New York Post
