“It starts with a secret, but this one’s different, this one’s mine.”
Award winning Artistic Director of Graeae, Jenny Sealey has spent a lifetime championing stories by Deaf and disabled artists. Now she takes to the stage to tell her own story. Unravelling the past and facing the future, Self-Raising is a blisteringly honest, laugh-out-loud one-woman show about growing up deaf in a family with secrets.
All performances creatively integrate British Sign Language, Audio Description and Captions. Please select stalls centre for best view of captions and the interpreter. If you need a companion ticket to support your visit and wish to make an access booking, please call 01517094776 or email boxoffice@everymanplayhouse.com. A touch is scheduled to take place 45 mins before each performance.
