THE NEW SILENCE: A POEM FOR THE NEW CLIMATE

By getting personal and little surreal, The New Silence, by award-winning playwright Brian Price, uses humor, theater, childhood memories, and music to take on the thorny questions of climate change. So often environmental issues are caught between economic wrangling, incomprehensible statistics, and “we’re all gonna die” hyperbole. But what do we really think is going to happen? Are the ghosts of whales going to haunt us? Are sirens going to go off and never stop? Will we still have to mow the lawn? 

Voiced by Brian Price and Joan Hawkins, with music by acclaimed duo Kyle Quass and Julian Douglas and live foley by Tony Brewer, THE NEW SILENCE is a musical and poetic odyssey through our greatest fears, doubts, and fantasies about what’s going to happen next.
