Here are a couple of photos taken this morning.....our ten actors have been busy this week translating 106 pages of text into BSL. They have until 9th March to get through the entire script.

When we all first read through the text a year ago there was a lot of frowning and face-pulling. Love's Labour's Lost is known to be one of Shakespeare's most intellectual plays. There is lots of sophisticated word-play, puns and literary allusions.

Translating the text into BSL with its own unique structure, grammar and syntax is not easy at all. Fortunately, the actors have plenty of support from our two Directors, Paula and Andrew, interpreters Kate and Kathy (see photo above) and stage manager, Georgina. Things have been going well....
