On deaf audiences and actors in British theatre

15th March 2010

 

INTERVIEW: CAROLINE PARKER

The deaf actress talks about her cabaret show Signs of a Star Shaped Diva, written by Nona Shepphard and co-produced by Graeae Theatre Company and Theatre Royal Stratford East, which tours the UK through April. Carole Woddis quizzes. Recorded at Graeae.

We still get the odd disgrunted audience-member complaining that the sign-language distracts them. But I think interpreters add to the show.
