Hum

by Nicholas Wardigo
Directed by Colin Hovde and Nathaniel Mendez

May 12 - Jun 2, 2012

Set in a world where there is a constant and pervasive hum that blocks out verbal communication, Van and Eva must discover how to re-connect after a stranger enters their world and breaks the status quo. They must find connection, communication and love in the face of a world that can not understand them. But at what cost?

Press

What They Say

“…Hum has an undeniable dramatic power that builds over its 90-minute runtime, and it’s well worth seeing the play to experience its strengths for yourself. By the time you reach Hum’s  dreamlike, almost expressionistic ending, the play’s spell has fully been cast.”

DC Theatre Scene

“No one speaks through the first half of the play, but the production — co-directed by Colin Hovde, Theater Alliance’s artistic director, and Nathaniel Mendez, who plays the stranger — is one of the more immersive sensory experiences onstage now.”
