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 LSD-fuelled face-off with Chicago police then to a life-changing encounter with a seriously challenging patient, who taught him not just how to hear, but how to truly hear. You'll laugh, be moved and come away with real insight into an unfamiliar world. Finalist, Standing Ovation Awards. 'Spellbinding storytelling!' (FringeReview.co.uk). Featured on BBC Radio 4's Four Thought.
