By David Leddy

San Diego Botanic Garden
A Without Walls Presentation

ADVANCED RESERVATIONS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Susurrus is a fascinating, site-specific piece by internationally-renowned artist David Leddy that will launch the Playhouse’s innovative Without Walls program. Audiences listen on iPods while following a mapped route through the beautiful San Diego Botanic Garden. Part radio play, part avant-garde sonic art and part stroll in the park, Susurrus offers the listener a poignant story of love and loss. Contains adult themes. Recommended for a mature audience.

“A fascinating theatrical adventure that should not be missed.”

- North County

"David Leddy's Susurrus…is both a clever refraction of Shakespeare's themes and a distinct drama in its own right."

- The Guardian

“One of the wonders of Susurrus – besides thoughtfully raising questions about precisely how much
you can strip away from a show and still consider it to be ‘theater’ – is the way the listener participates
in its ultimate meaning and marries the narrative with the changing, visible landscape.”

- AnnArbor.com

"A magical blend of sorrow, anger, compassion, excellent writing and magnificent music."

- The Scotsman
