How deafness affects family life
When Erin Siobhan Hutching's older sister Sarah was diagnosed as deaf her parents were given conflicting advice about whether they should use sign language to communicate with her. Now Erin has written a two-woman play based on her family's experiences. The drama, The People of The Eye, is partly performed in sign language and has been put on by a theatre company called the Deaf and Hearing Ensemble. It's being performed around the UK at the moment. Erin spoke to Weekend's Molly Guinness.
