"...Satie, differentiating her characters by their various European accents and slightly exaggerated demeanors, doesn't bring these women to life much beyond their childhood tales. But the respectful way she communicates what they lived through is perfectly measured. Sentimental flourishes are banished in Anita Khanzadian's simple and direct staging. These witnesses are witnessed with quiet love."

"...These women retain their memories as the children they were at the time, jumping back into the present time as group participants who, thinking that no one was interested in hearing their story of survival, gather for weekly meetings and recount their experiences, both good and bad. What we learn is that when your survival is on the line there is no way to judge what behavior people undertake to save themselves since there is no way any of us can know what we would do to save ourselves in the moment until it happens. And the ghosts who live within these women will chill your soul."

"...It's a short run with only two more Sunday performances left. And it's an easy show to sit through. My only only disappointment with Silent Witnesses is not having a resolution with the therapist's character with her personal history and family. I would have liked to have known if she ever did keep her promise to go back to Lvov, to come face to face with a shocking fact revealed about her father. Otherwise, this is one production that wholeheartedly deserves a last look before it disappears once again. Ms. Satie is a brilliant storyteller."
