Synopsis

A young man afflicted with a rare genetic disorder explains to his sister that before long he’ll lose the ability to speak. She helps him find his way to a new voice – or rather, to many new voices. Why should he be restricted to only one? Why shouldn’t he have a different voice for each life situation? This award-winning play based on the real-life experiences of the playwright and her brother provides a moving theatrical exploration of disability and representation.
