Deafinitely Theatre is bringing its latest production, The Promise, to the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.
Coproduced by Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the show is co-written and directed by Deafinitely’s artistic director Paula Garfield and written with journalist Melissa Mostyn.
It will be performed at the Lyric Hammersmith from April 30 – May 11.
Rita is really confused. She can’t understand why the deaf education system she’s tirelessly championed throughout her teaching career is getting worse and worse, or why there is only one care home in the whole of England that looks after people in her language. On the Isle of Wight.
She’s also confused about where her family is, and why she can’t remember where the milk goes…
Performed in spoken English and British Sign Language (BSL) with captions, The Promise is set to address how dementia affects those in the deaf community and their families.
