Dysfunction

Synopsis:
Deaf couple Nigel and Sue are battling their way through their 23rd year of marriage and like many couple, their past is riddled with things that they'd rather forget. When Nigel's brother comes to stay their darkest secrets come back to haunt them. Dysfunction was first performed at the Oval House in February 2004 as a revised piece of work in progress exploring the bizarre aspects of family life. This production has been revised and re-written and is a humorous exploration of the modern family and communication in all relationships: between the family members, between the Deaf and hearing characters, and between the actors and audience.
