To celebrate Deafinitely Theatre’s 20th birthday, Charlotte Arrowsmith takes a trip down memory lane to learn more about its history and how it was founded. Charlotte hears from fellow actors about how Deafinitely Theatre helped to launch their career, and in an interview with Paula Garfield, we hear Paula’s vision for the future of the institution. Charlotte also joins the cast of Deafinitely’s latest production, Everyday, during their rehearsals, to find out the significance of the play that has been chosen to celebrate this milestone birthday.\n\nYvonne and Julian welcome their first in-person guest since 2020’s lockdown, Sign Language Interaction’s project manager Russell Cooke. Russell tells Yvonne and Julian more about the 999 BSL’s launch in June, making it the first ever BSL emergency video relay service.\n\nTo celebrate National Children’s Gardening Week, keen gardener Andrew Clifton gives us some pointers on how to make gardening fun and interactive for the little ones and shows us how to make useful things for the garden using recycled tins - an activity that will be popular with children.\n\nFinally, we pay a tribute to Frances Elton, who was recognised as the foremost deaf BSL teacher-training and BSL linguistics trainer in the UK. Friends and work colleagues share memories and anecdotes about Frances’ life and career.
