K: We've just seen Adam Hills with a sign language interpreter. Tell me about it.
A: I was here with my son, Ben, watching Adam Hills with interpreter. It was really,
really fantastic. We saw it with the interpreter because for me I would miss
all the speech, but it was perfect with Catherine [the interpreter]
K: They work really well together A: Yes, they're really a perfect match.
K: So explain to me what happened? A: He talked about the Olympics, it was
very funny. He teased some people about where they were from and talked about
their accents. Different people were from the Netherlands, England, and so on. He
was making up the show as he went on but it was very funny. The jokes were
very funny. K: Which part did you like best?
A: There was no best bit because it was all so funny. I loved all of it.
K: Your boy was involved as well.. A: Yes!
K: Was that the first time you've seen your boy swear?
A: Yes! I was shocked but I laughed. I was surprised!
K: Oh it was awful! A: No! It wasn't real, not serious. It was
just teasing, for show, for laughs. K: I liked the show because it was stories.
It wasn't the same rehearsed show again and again. It's a different show every day.
I like that. If I go again tomorrow it will be different show.
A: Yes I like that too. Last Friday I went with my husband to see the Boy with
Tape on his Face. It's very visual. There was no interpreter. It's visual so it's fine
for Deaf people. You don't need an interpreter, it's perfect. It's a very funny
show. The boy is there and then others come up [on stage] and he uses body
language. K: ...and his eyes!
A: Yes, his eyes! His mouth is covered with tape, there's no talking. He uses
mime to get people up [on stage]. He's naturally funny.
K: Are there more theatre shows Deaf people would like?
A: Yes, well here there's Adam Hills, and the Boy with Tape on his Face are both
good. Craig Hill... K: ...with the kilt...
A: Yes. It's best to try looking through the programme and choose well. Visual
theatre and mime are good, but nothing musical -- it'll go straight over your head.
It's best to see an interpreted show or visual [theatre] or mime.
K: Catherine is a fantastic interpreter A: Yes, she really is.
K: OK, thank you so much A: No problem, thank you
