Theater Review

Here's a review of the performance of a distinguished deaf actor's performance in the Chicago theater's presentation of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. When the play was staged at the New York Theatre Workshop, there was a controversy over a decision to cast a hearing actor in the central role of a deaf man who serves as "a kind of cipher, a human canvas on whom the sad and lonely residents of a Georgia mill town can paint their troubles." Read the review in the Chicago Tribune here.
