"The score is beautiful, with patterns and loops
and cacophonies that echo Evan’s mind. The ensemble is first-rate,
and the rapport between the Saunders brothers absolutely translates.
It’s Heath Saunders, though, who walks off with your heart."
When Caleb Newton brings his girlfriend to the family's cabin in Alaska to propose marriage, her surprising response launches him on a journey of unexpected healing. Caleb fights to come to terms with the relationships he lost as he learns how the puzzle pieces of his memory can be reformed - through the prism of autism - to unlock new joy and intimacy in his future.
Newton's Cradle challenges our own expectations about grief and loss, integrating a fast-moving story with a hypnotic mixed acoustic/electronic score to create a melodic picture of haunting and healing seen through the filter of a very special brain.
"THE SAUNDERS FAMILY TAPS A COMPELLING VEIN WITHIN THE GENRE OF MUSICAL THEATER, STRIKING A BALANCE THAT MAKES NEWTON'S CRADLE SING."
