The Sound of Whales

Résumé du livre

"The Sound of Whales is a lyric-comedy about language, our obsessive reliance upon it, and how linear thought can inhibit understanding. David MacLean's play has its roots in his personal experience in dealing with governmental, educational, and medical bureaucracies. The frustration the playwright expresses toward these institutions is balanced by the love and devotion a father feels for his son. The Sound of Whales is at once tender and angry, intimate and universal." (Robert Garfat, from "A Director's Analysis.")Praise for The Sound of Whales:". . . ambitious, poetic and imaginative, with moments of striking honesty . . ." (The Vancouver Sun)"... draws picture after picture in its attempt to communicate the ineffable." (The Georgia Straight)
