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

A Beautiful play and Parker IS amazing

One of the best new things on Audible imo… so great to hear these two characters gently unravel… great example of ‘you dont need effects’ to make drama - you just need something immensely, almost painfully, human ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
