Deep Blue Sound

"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.

Abe Koogler was a Michener Fellow at UT-Austin and studied at the Juilliard's Playwrights Program. His plays include Advance Man, Fulfillment Center and Kill Floor. He is a winner of the Kennedy Center's Paula Vogel Award and Williamstown Theatre Festival's Weissberger Award. He is under commission from Manhattan Theatre Club and Theatre Masters.
