This national tour of Concrete Theatre’s production of Dave Clarke’s moving song cycle of a Deaf mom and her hearing son, is based on his own childhood and life in England as a CODA. I had the great pleasure of co-directing and co-dramaturging the show, which was performed in ASL and sung English, with my dear colleague and friend Caroline Howarth, and with the support of the brilliant team at Concrete – Patrick Beagan and Heather Cornick.
The stellar cast included Elizabeth Morris, Erik Mortimer, Scott Olynek, Kate Ryan and Josh Travnik. It was stage managed by Sang Sang Lee, with set design by c.m. zuby and Lynette Maurice, lighting design by Patrick Beagan and projection design by Kim Clegg.
We brought the show to the Arden Theatre in St. Albert, Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon and to Inside Out in Calgary Feb 3 to Mar 4, 2024.
