Sign Stage On Tour (Deaf Theatre Adaptation by William Morgan based on the book by Roald Dahl)
March 8, 2008 at 1:00pm & 4:00pm
James Trotter's life was great until a rhinoceros came and changed
everything! Suddenly he was an orphan sent to live with his mean Aunt
Spiker and cruel Aunt Sponge. One day while working in the garden, a
mysterious man gives James a gift that changes his life again and it
involves a magical peach. Join James on his exciting adventure inside
the biggest peach the world has ever seen! As he leaves behind the
sadness of his life with his vicious Aunts, James sets forth on a
journey with larger than life-sized insects. With the wise old green
Grasshopper and the eternally pessimistic Earth-worm, among others,
James sees oceans and cloud makers; is towed through the sky by
seagulls; and creates a stir in the "Big Apple" when the gigantic peach
lands on the Empire State Building. JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH is a tale
of friendship, love, sadness
and triumph.
Sign Stage on Tour is a specialist in Sign Language Theatre where deaf
and hearing actors perform together on stage. Whenever a character
speaks, the character speaking uses Sign Language but you’ll always
hear the voice too. The voice comes from a different actor speaking
through a microphone, sometimes on-stage and sometimes off-stage.
Visually, the stage is filled with the movement of hands and bodies yet
every word is spoken to make sure all audience members, both deaf and
hearing, don’t miss a thing. It’s a magical blend of language created
when performing a play simultaneously in spoken English and in the
spatial beauty of American Sign Language.
