Captive Audience

This short play collection has it all - two mayflies on a date realizing they only have one day to live; television that becomes a bit too real and starts taking over; a tourist buying a souvenir while the interpreter facilitating the conversation decides to play matchmaker; a woman seeking help because she has a recurring problem with the number two; elderly ladies preparing a funeral dinner while reflecting on life and being urinated on by ducks; and a police investigator attempting to solve the murder of a man who seems to enjoy furniture just a bit too much. These seven works by David Ives, along with an ensemble of eight actors - four deaf and four hearing - present the perfect opportunity to explore the many different ways ASL can change the way you look at a play.
