BARRIER(S)

Artistic Director of Deafinitely Theatre Paula Garfield, MBE has announced the cast for the company’s forthcoming touring production of Barrier(s) by Eloise Pennycott, starring Em Prendergast as Alana and Zoë McWhinney as Katie. The production opens at The Rep, Birmingham from 18 - 25 October, before touring to HOME, Manchester from 6 - 8 November. The production will culminate at Camden People's Theatre from 11 - 29 November.

Eloise Pennycott said, “I am so excited to see Barrier(s) brought to life on stage with such a great cast and creative team. Zoë McWhinney and Em Prendergast have already brought so much to the play during research and development, and I could not be more pleased to have them take on the roles of Katie and Alana. This play has developed far from what it was three years ago at the National Theatre - I cannot wait to bring this production to our audiences.”

Love has no single language.

Alana and Katie come from different worlds. One is hearing, one is deaf. Together, they navigate the joys and struggles of love, communication and survival in a world that keeps putting up barriers. When the world tries to silence you, how can you hold on to love?

Eloise Pennycott’s Barrier(s) is a powerful and intimate love story. Full of warmth, humour and the fight to be understood. Critically acclaimed for its honesty and gripping storytelling, Barrier(s) is a theatrical experience that speaks volumes – even without words
