Silence: Mabel and Alexander Graham Bell, takes place in two worlds simultaneously — the hearing world and a soundless one. The play features moments of silence as well as actors who are hearing, deaf and hard of hearing.
London Free Press's Joe Belanger writes: "Director Trina Davies takes us on an intimate journey through the struggles all relationships face, but one with the added complication of two unique characters: Alexander Graham Bell, played by Graham Cuthbertson, a driven, almost manic scientist, engineer and inventor whose mind raced with ideas and thrived on the challenges of invention; and, Mabel Gardiner Hubbard Bell, played by Tara Rosling, the deaf daughter of Boston lawyer Gardiner Greene Hubbard, played by Michael Spencer-Davis, Bell’s financial backer and benefactor who became the first president of the Bell Telephone Company."
When: Until February 3, with ASL performances on January 24 and 28.
Where: The Grand Theatre’s Spriet Stage, 471 Richmond Street, London Ontario.
Tickets: Ranging from $29.95 to $74 (including taxes and fees), available at the box office, online at grandtheatre.com or by calling 519-672-8800.
