The Walking Plays are a collection of audio dramas developed and produced by The Lyric Stage of Boston following the COVID-19 shut down. Consisting of 9 plays across two narrative series, each episode was written by a local playwright and set along a walking route within the historic city of Boston. The listener was invited to walk the route of each play, taking in the sights and history, while experiencing the stories of each series. Take a listen to the 7 episodes I designed below!
