Speech therapist James Leeds tries to persuade Sarah Norman, who is deaf, to learn to speak and lip-read. But it is Sarah who teaches James the beauty and subtlety of her sign-language and shows him that she has a right to an independent existence that defies the norms and expectations of the hearing world.
Winner of the Antoinette Perry (Tony) award for ‘Best Play of the 1979-80 Broadway Season' and The Society of West End Theatre Awards for ‘The Play of the Year 1981'. (Cast 3m, 4f)
