About
Call to Adventure - The Life & Times of Francis Maginn
Written by Charis McRoberts & Paula Clarke
Directed by Stephen Kelly
Step into the extraordinary life of Francis Maginn, pioneer of the deaf community in Ireland and Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with this heart-felt drama Call to Adventure.
This engaging ensemble performance charts Maginn's journey, beginning with his experience of scarlet fever as a boy, which left him profoundly deaf at the age of five.
Follow his fight as a pioneer for the rights and education of the Deaf community across Ireland and Britain. Witness him confront the controversial ban on sign language decided at the 1880 Milan Congress and his founding of the British Deaf Association (BDA).
Don't miss this chance to celebrate Maginn's vital legacy. Discover the rich history of the Deaf community. This story resonates now more than ever, with The Sign Language Bill currently under consideration.
Presented by c21 Theatre Company.
The inclusive production is made fully accessible with British Sign Language, English, creative captions, and sign language interpretation and the presence of both Deaf and hearing actors centre stage.
The Ulster Society for Promoting the Education of the Deaf and the Blind is the primary funder of this project.
