A Play – Mondays from 20 April
Shortly after the government announced a complete lockdown, Graeae commissioned eleven Deaf and disabled writers to create one monologue each written in isolation. Some took on the current crisis, others eschewed the pandemic in favour of something completely different.

Each short monologue will be read by a Deaf or disabled actor from home, and will be captioned and audio described.

A collaboration between Graeae’s new writing department and Graeae Patron and acclaimed playwright Jack Thorne.

Please refer to age guidance and trigger warnings for each play shown below.

A Podcast – Wednesdays from 22 April
