The Sound Inside : Broadway Play

The Sound Inside made waves in 2018 for the handling of controversial subjects that could have been depressing yet was redeemed by the writing of Adam Rapp, who transformed it into thought-provoking and impressive theatre. Adam Rapp is known for his narrative-led writing and is famous for his plays Red Light Winter, Nocturne, Essential Self-Defense, and The Edge of Our Bodies. His writing is effectively brought onto stage by the direction of David Cromer whose previous stage outing The Band’s Visit won him a Tony Award for Best Direction. Supporting Cromer’s vision of Bella is the astounding Tony-award winning actress Mary-Louise Parker. She has previously been seen in shows like Prelude to a Kiss, Proof, and Heisenberg. Parker breathes Bella’s persona and is at her best in exchanges with Will Hochman who plays Christopher Dunn.

The mood of the play is set thanks to the efforts of Alexander Woodward (Scenic Design) which is unobtrusive but works just well enough to hint at the place and time of the play. The lighting by Heather Gilbert and sound and music by David Kluger work together in creating a dark and melancholic atmosphere without interfering in the theatrics itself. The Sound of Inside is dark yet a departure from becoming a depressing play. Each of the 90 minutes will have the audience anticipating what’s to come and manages to leave them spellbound. Watch The Sound of Inside, the most interesting Broadway show this fall!

The Sound Inside: Broadway Story

The story of The Sound Inside begins in New Haven where a woman goes through unspeakable pain and finds a way to overcome it. Bella Baird is a 53-year-old Yale professor and a writer of fiction who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness - stomach cancer. She goes through the notions of treating cancer, going to chemotherapy but to no avail and eventually, the prognosis is deemed fatal. Bella decides to work on her last book, which is about a teacher who has cancer. Although a fiction writer, the ideas seem to be emanating from her own life. She lives alone on campus and has no family to speak of. She decides to involve a young student from Vermont, Christopher Dunn, in her writing process.

Christopher is anti-millennial, a student of creative writing and also writing a seemingly autobiographical book. Both of them share writing sessions as they go about writing their books, which may or may not be about their lives. They discuss works of other writers and while this may seem like two parallel storylines, they merge when Bella asks Christopher to do something unthinkable. Watch The Sound Inside to find out what happens to Bella and Christopher, and see if their books ever get written.
