New Hampshire Theatre MainStage premieres its 2026-27 Season with the acclaimed drama, The Sound Inside, by Adam Rapp, directed by Constance Witman. A brilliant Ivy League writing professor. A talented yet mysterious student. An unthinkable favor. Everyone has a story — the question is how it ends.
When Bella Baird, an isolated creative writing professor at Yale, begins to mentor a brilliant but enigmatic student named Christopher, the two form an unexpectedly intense bond. As their lives and the stories they tell about themselves become intertwined in unpredictable ways, Bella makes a surprising request of Christopher that neither knows if he can fulfill. Brimming with suspense, Rapp’s riveting play explores the limits of what one person can ask of another.
