THE SINGER at Traverse Theatre

The Singer is a world premiere piece of gig-theatre with book and direction by Cora Bissett and music and lyrics by Grammy Award-nominated KT Tunstall, produced by Dundee Rep Theatre and Solar Bear in collaboration with Aberdeen Performing Arts. The play follows Joe, a deaf artist who sings with his hands, and Andy, a washed-up musician hungry for a comeback, whose unlikely creative partnership sparks something extraordinary before prejudice and the music industry's ableist blind spots push their bond to breaking point. Based on a short film by Cora Bissett and Jamie Rea, the work explores music, identity, connection, and the fight for a deaf artist to be truly seen and heard.
