Sign Me AliceSign Me Alice
This play is delightfully funny as it is profound. It was written by Gilbert Eastman who was head of the Drama Dept. of Galleudet University when he notices (visually) all the different sign systems that were abound at the University, that he states that the University had truly become a tower of Babel. The play Sign Me Alice is a truly "D"eaf Play. The introduction looks like a score card and one has to master the emphasis on English words that try to convey the meaning in sign language. A masterful feat in its own right to try to interpret sign language to English. Yet when not signed, many subtle meanings can be missed. Your level of enjoyment will depend upon your use of sign language (ASL), and knowledge of Deaf Culture. The deeper your Deaf experience the more enjoyment you will receive. This play is for everyone, but I also think that although the enjoyment level of this play is very high, you still have to be Deaf to understand. No hold barred, it is the best of Deaf Literature.
