Broadway Theatre Archive: Let Me Hear You Whisper (1969) Rating: Starring: Bil Baird, Ruth White, Elizabeth Wilson Director: Glenn Jordan Category: Drama Studio: Kultur Subtitles: Length: 70 mins     The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewels of public and network television." Set in a research laboratory that embodies the mechanical, detached attitudes of 20th century science, this play tells the poignant story of a friendless, simple scrubwoman (Ruth White) and a dolphin who stubbornly refuses to talk to anyone but her. Despite the earnest attempts of her supervisor to indoctrinate her, she cannot understand the cold, intellectual atmosphere. Secretly, she and the dolphin become friends and together strike a blow for love and understanding that baffles the experts. For this production, famed puppeteer Bil Baird created a life-sized dolphin puppet that he both manipulates and acts as its voice. The Modern Jazz Quartet improvised and performed the original score.
