Dumbstruck

Fiona is losing her voice.
Mal is losing his faith.
Ted is losing his marbles.

Somewhere in the North Pacific, a lonely whale sings.

Armed with a stage full of instruments and a box of chalk, Fine Chisel’s award-winning actor-musicians conjure the rush of waves, the buzz of a 1960s pirate radio station and the far-from-dry world of marine mammal bioacoustics.
