As we edge ever closer to the big day, here is a bit of info about Donna Mullings from Derby who plays Lady-in-Waiting, Maria. It has been quite some time since she last performed with Deafinitely Theatre which was back in 2004 in Children of a Greater God. She has this to say:
"I am very much looking forward to perform at The Globe with the cast, it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Shakespeare's language is difficult to understand, we have (with the wonderful support from Kate Furby and Andrew Muir) had to to translate the language into Modern English and then into BSL.
It had been tricky to adjust our BSL language into a much more visual form. It will be AMAZING once we are on stage!!! Paula Garfield (the Director) has been brilliant, supporting us and making us feel comfortable, helping us to understand the play. I feel it is going to be an incredible experience and I am going to be filled with lot of butterflies, all fluttering around in my stomach... I feel so privileged and honoured to be acting on this very famous stage. It will be a completely overwhelming experience!"
