  1. 1. Making Noise Quietly

    "Making Noise Quietly" is a compelling collection of three thematically connected plays that explore the profound effects of war on personal relationships and the human spirit. Through intimate, character-driven narratives set across different time periods and locations, the work delves into the lives of individuals who are grappling with the consequences of conflict, whether they are soldiers, survivors, or civilians. The play examines the disparate ways in which people cope with the trauma of war, the search for redemption, and the struggle for meaningful connection amidst the tumult of a world touched by violence. Each story serves as a poignant meditation on the capacity for empathy, the resilience of the human heart, and the quiet moments of humanity that persist even in the darkest of times.
