First of all, here is a link to the song Clay listened to while writing the play, The Decemberists Shanty for the Aretheusa.
Second, here's a list of all the sounds I could find in the text:
Fibers flexing under the backdrops weight
Twisting sound, "all high-pitched and leathery"
Actors speaking lines
THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
Whoosh
Clapping
Ear piercing screech
A cat on fire
Seat sqeaking and shrieking
Rustly of playbills
Murmer of the audience
Whispering
Standing ovation
Cry of FIRE
Yelling and Screaming
Curls Crackling
Snap of riibs
Whinnying pony
Crying women
Women singing
Music
Burning paper
Burning woodwind
Burning harp (+ strings)
Fire = music
Creaking floorboards
The sound of the stage
the sound of ghosts
Breathing
Plummeting bodies + their impact
Kettle drum
Fire harmony
Storm
screaming, shouting
Distant screaming
shattering glass
Coughing, spitting
tissues crackling
"crepitant"
Gummy words
The sound of a dead play ("Cobwebs connecting the sentences together")
Sighing
Clock striking midnight
Clok striking One AM
Children Whispering
Mosquitos
Flies buzzing
