...actresses utilize the entire space of the stage. The movements never appear overly staged or aimless; every action is natural and has a purpose. In the play's second act, the three women remain downstage as, behind them, the son sits at his mother's bedside. He remains mute the entire time, allowing the focus to stay on the three voices of this one woman. In reality, though, this son is Albee and the three voices are his, the voice of the playwright. At last, the son is in control of his mother's fate. The result is a brilliant...
Blue Man Group's stage piece "Tubes" is like a Baptist revival on Mars. Three mute, blue figures muck around at the messy crossroads of modern life, splashing around in paint to demonstrate chaos theory, attacking Twinkie's with power drills to re-examine such banalities as shrink-wrap, vacuuming the pathetic Christina out of Wyeth's "Christina's World."

"They all spoke to Susan's humanity, her 'potential,' her sweetness and their belief that she must have snapped that night, that nobody with that much mother-love could have meant...
Standing on the sidelines through the debate is the real Gina Grant. Despite an occasional press release, the girl has stood apart from the storm, watching her self-proclaimed defenders on campus and in the media protest against the reticent Harvard administration. With both Grant and Harvard remaining mute, both sides are left to rely on rumor and second- hand sources to assess the case. And we find debaters eliciting the image of Gina Grant that most agrees with their gut prejudices about the American judicial system...
