Description
Walking the City of Silence and Stone is a nine-episode audio drama series that combines a mystery adventure story with an audio guided tour of Washington, D.C. in which episodes are meant to be played at certain locations throughout the city. The series is written by Stephen Spotswood, directed by Jess Jung, and presented by Forum Theatre.
A girl shoves a notebook into your hands. Moments later, she falls from a Metro platform into the path of an oncoming train. Was it a tragic accident? Suicide? Or the latest in a series of sinister events that have their roots deep in the heart of the city? Whatever the answer, it's the first step in a journey to discover who this girl was and what momentous secret she uncovered that led her into the path of the creature known as the King of Worms.
One part murder mystery, one part ghost story, one part intimate drama: WALKING THE CITY OF SILENCE AND STONE is a site-specific audioplay that uses the entire city as its set piece. To be released in nine parts throughout the season, this world premiere will lead the audience from one end of Washington, D.C. to the other, peeling back the familiar skin of the District to show the strange world that lies just underneath.
