I was extremely fortunate to be invited to observe the inner workings of Amy Leach putting the final few tweaks on Mr Snow - a wonderfully Bilingual, family-friendly theatre production, with a fantastic cast, and with stunning set design. The entire production was thoughtfully crafted for accessibility, including audio-descriptive headphones and innovative lighting design. It was wonderful to also work alongside Assistant Director and Creative BSL Consultant Nadeem Islam as he worked through the linguistics and readability of the signs when put on stage alongside spoken audible English.
