SUMMARY:Unity Theatre: DaDaFest: Can I Start Again Please\, Sue MacLaine & 
 Nadia Nadarajah
DESCRIPTION:Can I Start Again Please desiccates and dissects childhood trau
 ma via an exploration of Wittgenstein and semantics. What is being investi
 gated is the power and failings of language – language that tells and hi
 de truths – sparring across the the heard and the unheard\, the spoken a
 nd the unspoken.\n\nCan I Start Again Please tells parallel narratives in 
 parallel languages (English and British Sign Language) which intersect\, d
 iverge and build on each other to create a mesmerising mix of verbal\, vis
 ual and physical languages to tell its story. The script written by Sue Ma
 cLaine is poetic and full of humour and described in The Independent revie
 w as ‘…clever\, and cleverly constructed…’ It is performed by Sue 
 MacLaine and Nadia Nadarajah (a native BSL user)\, with a bright\, coursin
 g and relaxed reciprocity.\n\nThe choreographer Jonathan Burrows provided 
 dramaturgy &amp\; direction and Lucy Bradridge\, the costumes and visual a
 esthetic.\n\nYou can watch a short promotional video by clicking here:vime

 ls tolling\; maybe also of Winnie in Beckett’s Happy Days. These women a
 re not up to their neck in sand\, but in words – words unspoken and unhe
 ard. MacLaine’s challenging\, devastating and devastatingly good piece
 … raises pertinent questions. Why do those who have experienced abuse of
 ten take years – or even decades – to speak about what has happened to
  them? Why\, when children and adults tell us about what has happened to t
 hem\, do we sometimes fail to hear what they say? What does trauma do to l
 anguage?” – Lynn Gardner\, The Guardian ★★★★\n\nVisiting multi
