“We need to use our imagination. We need to imagine that change might be possible. That change is possible, however hard or impossible it might seem.”
In a blend of languages, including fully integrated BSL, three performers told a story from three perspectives. It was the story of an international meeting. A meeting at which something happened, and in that moment everything changed.
Exploring equality and inviting action, SUMMIT was a play by renowned theatre-maker Andy Smith (The Preston Bill).
SUMMIT was performed in English and BSL, and was accessible for both Deaf and hearing audiences.
