MACBETH- CAPTIONED/ SUBTITLED SHOW IN SIAMSA TIRE.
On Tuesday the 7th of February at 8pm, Macbeth will be performed in Siamsa
Tire in Tralee. This is a captioned/subtitled and audio described
performance.
People who are Deaf, deafened or hard of hearing will access the show by
means of captioning and blind/partially sighted people can access the
performance by audio description.
This is facilitated by Arts & Disability Ireland with funding from the Arts
Council.
The show will be presented by Ireland’s award winning classics theatre
company, Second Age Theatre Company and they promise it will be a fast-paced
thriller, with a sumptuous design, and high-octane physical performances.

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS WITH DEAF KIDS.
Are you a parent of a deaf child? Are you looking for information of
interest to parents of deaf kids? The following websites may be of interest
to you.
Simply Signing’s mission is to promote the education of Irish Sign Language
to all children, to provide colourful access through their publications,
devoted to early intervention and educational work with infants, children,
educators and their caregivers. Their website is
http://simplysigning.ie/index.
Sharing the Journey is parent led and an independent service. On their
website, they say “Parents give their children roots and wings – roots to
know where home is and wings to fly off and practice what has been taught
them (Jonas Salk). We are here for all parents from the day your child is
identified until you don’t need us”.
Their website is still developing and they hope in time, it will evolve into
a one-stop-shop for information and support for all parents of d/Deaf and
hard-of-hearing children. www.sharingthejourney.ie/
