Â鶹Éç

A new comedy by Karen Laws about the philosophy of sound. Do we all hear things the same way? Can we be tricked into hearing what isn’t there? And will sound engineer Ben get trespasser Isla out of his studio, or will she bring him to his senses? Ben is appalled to find an intruder working his desk in the studio he’s hired by the hour. She needs to go! But Isla is a free spirit, breaking in where she can to mix her pieces of sound art. Ben questions her right to be there: Isla questions Ben’s right to ‘own’ sound. When she plays him something, have they really heard the same thing? Are our senses objective or do we hear what we want through our own reality tunnels? Come and join award-winner Sarah Miele as Isla and Sam Newton as Ben (Toast, Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time) and explore your very own reality tunnel.
