Barrier(s) show artwork. A person’s forearm with the words “Barricade(s) A Love Story written on the arm in pen.

Barrier(s)

Love has no single language.

Alana and Katie come from different worlds. One is hearing, one is deaf. Together, they navigate the joys and struggles of love, communication and survival in a world that keeps putting up barriers. When the world tries to silence you, how can you hold on to love?

Eloise Pennycott’s Barrier(s) is a powerful and intimate love story, full of warmth, humour and the fight to be understood. Deafinitely Theatre makes a welcome return to The Door following the acclaimed co-production of The Promise in 2024 and will showcase the company’s distinctive visual style, seamlessly blending British Sign Language and English.

Critically acclaimed for its honesty and gripping storytelling, Barrier(s) is a theatrical experience that speaks volumes – even without words.
