June 2024, four weeks
Robert is a playwright who has done readings and plays that focus on what it is like to grow up deaf, and frequently explores the familial connections between d/Deaf persons and their parents and siblings “as they encounter traumatic challenges in everyday life.” Robert says he wants to explore how “language deprivation, medical oppression, and ordinary life passages such as puberty, divorce, and death, also impact the lives of Deaf children and their families.”
