Living with a stammer has left Sonny hiding in silence. His only friend is an imaginary comic book hero, Captain Chatter, who is always by Sonny's side. When Sonny unexpectedly lands a role in the school's production of Hamlet, he finds support from his teacher Wainwright, and his witty classmate Roshi. Together, they embark on an inspiring journey of self-discovery, unlocking Sonny's voice and strength.
Directed by Olivier Award-winner Sally Cookson (A Monster Calls), this groundbreaking production merges live creative captioning, British Sign Language performance, traditional theater, and live music for a fully inclusive experience.
