Jack Levine: The Sound: A Semi-Autobiographic Fantasia by Sarah Caroline Billings

“

SARAH CAROLINE BILLINGS’ play, “The Sound”, deals with a young child trying to overcome her insecurities, loss of a loved one, feelings of grief and anger. I was thoroughly engrossed in this gem right from the beginning. Bravo!
