A world-premiere play by Strangeloop company member Dustin Spence! Developed entirely by Strangeloop Theatre, The Sound of a Yellow Flower was originally produced as a single scene during Strangeloop’s Loopshop summer workshop series in 2009 and was first seen in its full-length form in November 2009 as a staged reading at Boho Theatre.
Set in Belarus, the play examines the interconnected relationships between four characters, and how one decisive moment changes all of their lives. Love and violence intertwine as these four hope for a future and sort through the broken remains of their past. As secrets are revealed and relationships crumble, is there still a place for hope?

Directed by Letitia Guillaud
Featuring: Mark Pracht, Meghan M. Martinez, Rich Logan and Samantha Garcia.

“... it should surprise no one that two-year-old Strangeloop Theatre has mounted a thoughtfully directed, efficiently designed, and convincingly acted production on a shoestring. What’s mind-blowing is that Dustin Spence’s politically sophisticated, psychologically intricate play is his first.”
