Description
"As Abe Koogler's sweet, sad village mosaic revealed itself heart fissure by heart fissure, silence spoke volumes." - Observer
Looking to find out what happened to a pod of whales that used to visit their small island in the Pacific Northwest, a close-knit community is brought together in response to environmental change, and the changes in their own lives.
Abe Koogler's heartfelt play ebbs and flows from scene to scene as the islanders begin to confront their individual feelings of loneliness, and start to question what it is to have a meaningful life.
Deep Blue Sound is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Crystal Finn.

As Abe Koogler's sweet, sad village mosaic revealed itself heart fissure by heart fissure, silence spoke volumes.
Observer
-
In Deep Blue Sound, playwright Abe Koogler has devised something of a modern-day, West Coast variation on Thornton Wilder's 1938 Our Town.
New York Stage Review
-
If anything links all of these people, it is an aching loneliness. That they are trying to figure out what happened to orcas, which are remarkably social animals, is among the nice touches that Koogler has sneaked into his group portrait.
