'I Hear You' is a comedy drama that takes a humorous look at situations that can happen to anyone and asks who is listening and who is not listening. It’s full of characters who are heard and not heard in different ways - our hope is that every audience member will find a character to identify with! We invite everyone to this watch play, to reflect on how well they are listened to, how well they listen to others and the consequences of not listening well.
"Often in life you feel like you're saying something loud and clear and yet people still aren't listening. Nobody likes not being heard... who are you not listening to? "

We have recently been in email correspondence with Christian Feser, currently doing a PhD on Thomas Coryate at the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany).
He wrote, “ I just stumbled upon your recent production of the Legge-stretcher's voyages on your YouTube video, and I'd be delighted to know more, considering yours is probably the first and only dramatic adaptation of his work…….Since I am supposed to put a literary theorist spin on my thesis, I will be looking at the use of eccentricity in Coryate's works and figure out why they became obsolescent so quickly after his death ……However, I'd like to look at Coryate's reception as well, which is where your dramatic adaptation of the Crudities would be a perfect fit!”
(After we had sent the script and photographs, and an explanation of how the original script was workshopped.)
“Thank you for the photos and the poster! It looks like everyone involved had great fun. Together with the delightful script, it must have been a very entertaining night for the Odcombians!
It is interesting that you should mention the pantomime. It's a brilliant observation that you would have been influenced by that. I know only little about the English pantomime, but the fact that it puts emphasis on audience participation and double entendre alone suits a stage adaptation of the Crudities so well.”
Gary Lugsden (the author of Rumpelstiltskin)
"It really seemed everyone both in the audience and on stage had a great time!
We all thoroughly enjoyed the show... a job well done!"
Paul Smith (the publisher of Smiths Scripts)
"It was great to come and see you all and I really enjoyed the show. I thought you adapted to the venue really well!"
