peelng

Playwright Kaite O’Reilly requires that “peeling”, a one-act she wrote in 2002, be performed by deaf and disabled actors. She has rejected a number of US theaters’ requests that would not honor these parameters. Seattle’s Sound Theatre Company was ready and willing to provide the needed authentic casting and so has the privilege of staging the US premiere of this thought provoking and unique dramatic experience. The work somehow blends Beckett’s sense of the absurd and Ibsen-like stringent calls to action with the grandeur of a Euripides’ Greek tragedy. This off-the-wall mixture produces a dynamic night of theater.
