Funky Soul

Funky Soul is a powerful stage play inspired by the soul of Marvin Gaye, exploring love, music, and the moments that shape us. Through rhythm, memory, and truth, one man is forced to listen to his soul and find his way back to what matters most.

 

 

Will Chill was a gifted musician with rhythm in his veins and a love that gave his life meaning. But when tragedy strikes and grief threatens to consume him, he’s offered a way to escape the pain at the cost of his very soul. Guided by Sona, a mysterious voice of memory and truth, and tempted by Siren, the seductive force of addiction and numbness. Will must choose between surrendering to escape or facing his grief and reclaiming the music and the life he was meant to live.
