Enhanced American Sign Language adds depth, dimension to 'testimony's ambitious sister'
Docudramas – plays whose theatrical narratives and cast of characters are built from historical and archival materials – have been called"testimony's ambitious sister" by the late South African Nobel Peace Prize recipient Desmond Tutu. And for good reason. They give voice to ordinary people who have been placed in extraordinary, often atrocious circumstances, with the intention of making sure those atrocities are never forgotten or ever repeated.
A moderate-sized troupe of very talented Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing actors portray more than 60 characters. Matthew Shepard is not one of them, for his absence is a particularly poignant dramatic device. On opening night, recurring technical problems caused short lapses in the synchrony between ASL, spoken, and projected dialogue. It mattered little thanks to director Dameron's otherwise creative vision, fluid staging, and efficient traffic control, as well as designer Kailyn Aaron-Lozano's eye for highly expressive signing styles.
