This is an informative and well presented show. If you are not deaf and don't speak sign language it has been made accessible - and that is an important part of the experience. You will encounter what it is like being the person in the room who needs the adaptations to ensure that the experience is accessible for you. I think that everyone without an access need should have this experience. In addition this venue was so welcoming and so friendly. It's well acted and a very interesting story - definitely recommended.
