The Quiet Revolution of Laurent Clerc brings the remarkable story of Laurent Clerc to the stage, exploring the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in the history of Deaf education. Clerc was a pioneering Deaf educator whose work helped transform opportunities for Deaf people in the United States during the nineteenth century. Presented at Park Theatre, the production places his experiences, achievements and determination at the centre of a compelling theatrical story.
Born in France in 1785, Laurent Clerc became an influential teacher and advocate before travelling to the United States with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. Together they helped establish the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1817. Clerc went on to play a major role in the development of Deaf education in America, while his influence also became closely connected with the development and spread of American Sign Language and Deaf culture.
On stage, The Quiet Revolution of Laurent Clerc offers audiences an opportunity to discover the human story behind this significant historical figure. Themes of language, communication, identity, education and equality give Clerc's journey continuing relevance, while the intimacy of Park Theatre provides a fitting environment for a story centred on individual determination and wider social change. For theatre audiences interested in history, Deaf culture and stories of people who challenged established barriers, this production offers a thought provoking live experience.
