   A dumb show is a type of performance, often within a larger play or performance, in which the actors communicate through exaggerated physical actions and gestures rather than words or dialogue.

1. Dumb Show

   Dumb Show is a play by Joe Penhall. The three-character play, directed by Terry Johnson, premiered at the Royal Court Theatre' London, September 4, 2004. It received its American premiere at South Coast Repertory in September, 2006. It was performed at Keswick's Theatre by the Lake from June–November 2011. Fans may know him as “Mr. Saturday Night,” but the perks and privileges of superstardom have always eluded Barry. So when the promise of true celebrity beckons, he greedily takes the bait. At last he’s going to get what he deserves! Joe Penhall’s darkly comic Dumb Show opens in a luxury hotel suite, where hot-shot private bankers John and Jane are plying television personality Barry with equal parts outrageous flattery and vintage champagne, both of which he finds irresistible. Under the guise of crafting a provocative after-dinner speech, the pair cajole him into revealing some of the seamier aspects of his off-camera life. This is more than he bargained for. So what if he’s using them to get what he wants? That doesn’t give them the right to do the same thing to him, does it? But then doesn’t the public have a right to know who the “real” Barry is?
