Deep Blue Sound

Abe Koogler

Performing Arts / Theater / Playwriting

"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's plays have premiered at Playwrights Horizons, Manhattan Theatre Club, and Lincoln Center Theatre. He won an Obie Award for Playwriting, the Dramatist Guild's Lanford Wilson Award, and Williamstown Theatre Festival's Weissberger Award, among other honors. He earned graduate degrees in playwriting from UT-Austin and Juilliard. He teaches playwriting at Bennington College and also works as a political speechwriter.
