Loud Noises, Sudden Movements: A Play in Two Acts

By David Carmichael

The world of 17-year-old Rose Simon is torn apart one warm evening in May when she is brutally attacked and raped as she unlocks the gate to the upscale Washington, D.C., apartment building in which she and her family live. Later, when she discovers she is pregnant and decides to have an abortion, she finds herself at odds with her parents, particularly her father, a conservative U.S. senator whose strong anti-abortion views are unyielding and well-known. Loud Noises, Sudden Movements is the compelling story of an angry, defiant young woman whose titanic clash with her parents probes the depths of the philosophical and religious struggle that currently rages across America.David Carmichael is a retired journalist and a former U.S. Senate staffer. He lives in Washington state with his wife and three dogs.
