Sometimes there is a show that is impossible to give an adequate and deserving review about. Police Deaf Near Far, the Michigan premiere collaboration between TerpTheatre and Oakland University Theatre, is one of these shows. This production is amazing in all aspects and needs to be experienced by every theatre person, actually every human being, who exists, whether they are experienced with deaf culture or not. The extremely talented cast brings to life a show that is brutally honest with an emotional intensity that touches anyone who sees it while educating them about deaf culture at the same time.
