Written by Nona Shepphard (2005)
Performed by Caroline Parker

Caroline Parker, the UK’s favourite deaf diva takes us on an
entertaining and emotional roller coaster of signed songs.

Tammy, the alter ego of undertaker Sue Graves, has to make a life
changing decision. Does she consult the tarot cards, read endless
horoscopes, discuss things with her therapist or talk to her friends?
Her friends are the flat vinyl sort – strong vulnerable women she
identifies with – Judy, Aretha, Nina, Dolly, Dusty and Patsy. 

Performing to a soundtrack that includes iconic performances from
divas down the decades Caroline, as Tammy, interprets, translates,
signs and tells the stories of songs that have touched a generation of
music lovers – but it is Sue’s story that will touch your heart.
 
Signs of a Diva is a way of bringing deaf and hearing people together;
an evening making old songs new – for hearing people seeing them
signed, and for deaf people who may have never known the words
and stories of the songs. 

‘The cracking songs are all achingly embodied, so that every audience member, no matter what their aural status, becomes embroiled in her
passionate performance… easily the best camp deaf northern cabaret ever.’ Time Out 

‘A fabulously entertaining evening.’ Association for Deaf People 

**** Critics’ Choice, Time Out

Presented By: THE GRAND THEATRE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE DRILL HALL
