A bullied teenager feels their voice breaking. Can it ever be fixed? In this coming-of-age tale about a young gay person seeking identity in an unkind world, musicians and their instruments become the storytellers. Told through a transfixing fusion of words, live music and meticulous staging, Quiet Songs is both an unflinching portrait of adolescence and a moving reminder of what our voices reveal about our truest selves.
