Deaf West Theatre brings Teater Manu, Norway’s professional sign language theater company, to the U.S. for the first time with a black comedy about three women living on different floors of the same luxurious high-rise. Although they have never met, the trio is inter-connected by their secrets, a man and a feisty email conversation. It’s a story as truthful as life, love and jealousy itself, filled with forbidden emotions, desire and passion. In order to make the production accessible to an American audience, Deaf West sent a team of ASL Masters to Norway to translate the play into an International Sign Language/American Sign Language hybrid. The actors will be voiced in English. April 17 – May 4; Deaf West Theatre at [Inside] the Ford, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, Hollywood, CA 90068; $25-$30; (818) 762-2998 (voice) or www.deafwest.org.
