The Ghost of Alexander Blackwood brings to life the story of a pioneering figure in Deaf rights and the founder of the world’s first deaf church. Created and performed by an all-deaf team, this production explores the significant contributions of Blackwood, who dedicated his life to improving opportunities for the deaf community in the 19th century. Written by Nadia Nadarajah and directed by Benedetta Zanetti, the play features actors Connor Bryson and Amy Murray, delivering this intimate performance in British Sign Language with creative captions for hearing audiences.
