Taking Flight Theatre Company in association with Sherman Theatre, presents
Martha
Written by Elise Davison and Stephanie Bailey ScottÂ
Directed by Elise DavisonÂ
2055.
The Programme has driven Deafness underground. Using sign language is forbidden and is a radical act of protest, evoking suspicion and oppression.
Is Martha’s cabaret club a welcome home for an excluded minority, a safe haven for potential terrorists or something even more sinister?
When Sarah gains access to this guarded community, her world is blown apart as hidden histories, family secrets and the lies of the state are brought explosively to light.
A searing new drama, Martha is performed in BSL and spoken English with creative captions and integrated audio description.Â
Performances will run from the 13th to the 21st of June at the Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, & 25th-26th June at Pontio, Bangor

"...an important piece of theatre by a company, Taking Flight, that is a leader in creating work as unapologetically defiant as this, challenging our preconceptions. It is, in itself, a small but powerful act of rebellion." The Stage
