Static, London, uk

Information on Static

Graeae Theatre Company and Suspect Culture present Static by Dan Rebellato

22 April – 3 May, Soho Theatre, London
A story of love, loss and compilation tapes. A young widow discovers a compilation tape left by her husband and becomes convinced he is communicating with her from beyond the grave. This is a bitter-sweet story told through stark and concise dialogue, sign language and a rich soundtrack that takes in Sonic Youth and Nirvana picking up Elvis and The Smiths along the way. Static explores what it is to love and to lose and delves into the human need for communication and understanding.
All performances of Static are British Sign Language interpreted and audio described.
