REVIEWS // THE SOUND INSIDE
DrewRowsome.blogspot.com
“The Sound Inside is a whirlwind of a two-hander, packed with sexual tension, aphorisms, literary references, and a celebration of the ecstasy and agony of both reading and writing.”
FrontMezzJunkies.com
“The dynamic elegance of the ever-shifting piece, designed with an impeccable eye for distant focus by the dynamic Wes Babcock (Matchstick’s The Woodcutter), with detailed costuming by Laura Delchiaro (Shaw’s Gem of the Ocean), incredibly subtle, yet intense lighting also by Babcock, and engaging music and sound design by Chris Ross-Ewart (Stratford’s Hamlet-911), draws us in without pushing or prodding.”

“What makes Leora Morris’ direction so effective is the extent to which we can’t feel it in the audience — it’s at times as if the play hasn’t been directed at all, just two people and a desk on Wes Babcock’s stark set.”
