Posted Sunday September 08 2013 at 9:52 pm
SpeakEasy Stage Company presents the New England premiere of TRIBES, the hit London and Off-Broadway drama by Nina Raine, from September 13 through October 12, 2013.
There will be two ASL-interpreted performances: Sunday, October 6 at 7PM and Friday, October 11 at 8PM. (Please note that both performances are sold out as of September 20. A third ASL-Interpreted show has now been added. See our blog post for details.) There will be a talkback following the October 6 performance moderated by John Pirone, Director of the ASL/Deaf Studies Program at the College of the Holy Cross and the former Executive Director of the Massachusetts State Association of the Deaf (MSAD).
A 2011 Olivier nominee for Best Play and winner of the 2012 Drama Desk and Off- Broadway Alliance Awards for Best Play, TRIBES is a penetrating new work about belonging, family, and the limitations of communication. Born deaf into a fiercely intellectual and opinionated British family, Billy was pushed to assimilate into the hearing world as best he could by reading lips and staying out of the way.
