The Sound Inside

By Adam Rapp

Director Stella Reid
Produced by A Mulled Whine and Stellavision

Bella Baird is a brilliant Ivy League writing professor. Christopher is a talented yet mysterious student. Between real-life and literary fiction, an unusual friendship grows between lonely souls. Until Bella asks an unthinkable favour.

A gripping yet delicate new play that explores the limits of what one person can ask of another; beautiful in its writing and thrilling in its drama. The Sound Inside has seared through Broadway, earning six Tony Award nominations, including Best Play. Now making its New Zealand premiere in 2025.

A slick, shivery production starring Dulcie Smart who makes her long-awaited return to Aotearoa especially.

* Listed among “Best of the Year” in Time, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Daily News, The Hollywood Reporter *
