"I just thought that everyone's parents spoke like that. Then I realised. Just like I thought everyone's parents walked around in the nude shouting at each other. They do" Billy's fiercely intelligent and proudly unconventional family are their own tiny empire, with their own private language, jokes and rules. You can be as rude as you like, as possessive as you like, as critical as you like. Arguments are an expression of love. After all, you'd do anything for each other - wouldn't you? But Billy, who is deaf, is one of the few who actually listens. Meeting Sylvia makes him finally want to be heard; can he get a word in edgeways? A Public Dress Rehearsal will take place on Thursday 29 June subject to confirmation. Tickets on sale in person only on the day of the performance.
