Description
"Rich, funny, and devastating. As Abe Koogler's sweet, sad village mosaic revealed itself heart fissure by heart fissure, silence spoke volumes." - Observer
A small island community in the Pacific Northwest comes together to search for answers when a beloved pod of whales goes missing. As the seasons pass and the search grows cold, the islanders struggle to work together, while grappling with changes in their own lives.
Abe Koogler's play is a warm and surprising portrait of a group of idiosyncratic people looking for connection and meaning in the face of loss.
After an acclaimed remount at New York's Public Theater, Deep Blue Sound is published by 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.
