Soundscapes (one-act version)

Book excerpt: Iris has synesthesia. She has no idea. At first, she simply thinks that everyone sees colors and shapes when music plays, but by the time she's a teenager, it's clear that others don't understand. Struggling to downplay the way she experiences the world, and worrying what it might mean to be different, the young artist is at war with herself until she meets a new friend - and he sees the colors too. An ensemble chorus of colors bring Iris' experience of discovering her neurodivergence to life in this triumphant, visually stunning coming-of-age story. (A full-length version of this play is also available.) Drama One-act. 35-45 minutes 9-30+ actors (suggested casting: 5F, 2M, 9 any)
