A smart, lively and beautifully acted new play that asks us to hear how we hear, in silence as well as in speech.
Ben Brantley, New York Times review, 2012
British playwright Nina Raine's 2010 Olivier Award-nominated play examines the loneliness of being deaf as well as the power of language over us all. Follow Billy, a young man who has been deaf for all his life. He has suffered from isolation as his family never learned sign language, or was he taught it, relying only on direct questions and fervant lipreading. But now, he meets a kindred spirit - a girl who is on the edge of losing her hearing, and the two form a loving, yet unconventional bond, allowing Billy a new sense of freedom from his careless family.
At times funny, and at others sharply painful, this lauded work highlights what so many of the hearing masses are deaf to - the needs of others. Where Billy's middle-class family live a noisy and chaotic existence, selfishly blivious to Billy's isolated agony, it is their turn to mourn when he detaches from them and finds joy in the deaf community. Acclaimed deaf Russell Harvard reprises his role as Billy from the 2012 New York production.
