Children
of a Lesser God
a drama by Mark Medoff
Feb. 20 to March 9, 2008 |
Sarah is a sensitive yet spirited hearing- and speech-impaired young woman who meets a tightly wound (and hearing) young teacher named James at a school for the deaf. They seem to be opposites in so many ways: she is cut off from both the world of the hearing and those who would seek to help her, and he stumbles in his best intentions to reach out to Sarah. As they grapple with their studies, and work to find a middle ground of communication both physically and emotionally, each finds much to learn from the other. She empowers her altruistic teacher to discover the transformative power of love, and he inspires the flinty Sarah to embrace life fully in this heart-rending drama. Winner of the 1980 Tony Award for Best Play!
With "shadow interpreting" in American Sign Language, all performances are accessible to both hearing and deaf audiences!
