About this listen

Tony®, Golden Globe, and Emmy® Award winner Mary-Louise Parker stars in what ​The New York Times​ calls “a gripping mystery” about Bella Baird, a​ ​novelist and Ivy League English professor who prizes her solitude. When faced with a challenge she cannot tackle alone,​ Bella must ally herself with a brilliant but mysterious student (William Hochman) and confront the question of what one person can truly do for another. Intensely intimate and deeply moving, Adam Rapp’s haunting play received resounding acclaim during its Broadway run at ​Studio​ 54 and was nominated for six Tony Awards​. ​Now available only on Au​dible, The Sound Inside is a “vital, compassionate and rivetingly theatrical drama about tragedy and redemption, sacrifice and loss, the bright blaze of artistic creation and the sadness of an unknowable stranger” (​The Hollywood Reporter)​.

Directed by David Cromer.
Music by Daniel Kluger by arrangement with peermusic

Beautifully written - and the two main characters are brought to life with such pathos and authenticity by both Parker and Hochman. Loved this...

A somewhat thought provoking listen. The narration is relatively well done and I enjoyed listening to it, though it does get a bit, shall I say fruity, at times. I'm new to Audible and I assumed there'd be a warning about such content? anyway its an interesting story/play, if a bit dark (of course) so not a laugh a minute listen but something to think about. Worth a listen if it sounds of interest, yes.
