New Diorama Theatre, 17 May - 11 June 2022
Gathering up true stories of deaf women and non-binary people's experiences of surviving abuse, four witches form a coven like no other - with a cauldron of newt’s eyes and butterflies, deep scars and blazing signs.
A visually-rich, playful and pulsatingly urgent world premiere from multi-award-winners Deafinitely Theatre (4.48 Psychosis, Contractions), combining British Sign Language and English in the company’s unique bilingual style.
Drawing on interviews with women and non-binary people exploring domestic abuse in the deaf community, this is a defiant and empowering new work from nationally-acclaimed director Paula Garfield, marking the company’s 20th anniversary.
Commissioned by New Diorama Theatre.
