Description
What's it like growing up when your parents can't hear? In this poignant and captivating solo show, Joe, therapist and Child of Deaf Adults (CODA), explores his life to answer the question. He takes us from his early years to a hilarious and scary face-off with Chicago police then to a life-changing encounter with a seriously challenging patient who helped unblock his deaf ears. You'll laugh, be moved and come away with real insight into what it is to truly hear. Finalist, Standing Ovation Awards. 'Spellbinding storytelling' (FringeReview.co.uk).
