In a new play at the National Theater in London, 27 actors perform for 90 minutes without uttering a word. The attraction is “The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other[t/ag],” by the Austrian playwright [tag]Peter Handke. The script has 60 pages of stage directions and no dialogue, although there are bangs, crashes, screams and laughter, The Independent of London reported. Mr. Handke said that the idea came to him in the 1980s when he found dramatic meaning in the comings and goings in a town square near Trieste, Italy. “Is there much to discover in it?” he said of his play. “I don’t know.”
