1984

The Singer is a Bold, New, Thrilling Piece of Gig-Theatre About Joe, a Deaf Artist Who “Sings” With His Hands, and Andy, a Washed-Up Musician Hungry for a Comeback.

Joe Experiences Music Viscerally and Physically, Feeling Rhythm Through His Body and Crafting Lyrics That Pulse With Life and Exhilarating Originality.

When Their Unlikely Creative Partnership Sparks Something Extraordinary, Ambition and Belonging Collide.

But As Prejudice and the Music Industry's Ableist Blind Spots Close in, Their Bond is Pushed to Breaking Point.

Featuring Music and Lyrics by Grammy Award-Nominated Kt Tunstall, the Singer is a Powerful Story of Music, Identity and Connection, and the Fight for a Deaf Artist to Be Truly Seen and Heard.
