KT Tunstall's Personal Connection to New Theatre Show
10 Aug
Summary
- A new theatre show merges deaf and hearing performers.
- KT Tunstall wrote music due to personal connections.
- The show expands a short film about unlikely partners.
A significant new theatre production, a collaboration between Dundee Rep and Solar Bear, is set to integrate deaf and hearing cast and crew. This innovative show evolves from a short film titled 'The Singer,' which depicted an unusual partnership between a deaf musician and a struggling busker.
Singer-songwriter KT Tunstall found the project particularly resonant. She penned the music, drawn to the themes due to her younger brother being profoundly deaf and her own experience with hearing loss since 2018. Tunstall also related to the character of the Glasgow busker, recalling her own past performing in the city.
