Gull Therapy
By Anita Sullivan. Alice, a speech therapist, is trying to help Dan, who has aphasia. But the gulls are keeping her up all night. A play about sound, language and meaning.
Dan used to be a successful drugs sales rep for a pharmaceutical company but, after a stroke, he finds all kinds of communication difficult and fatiguing. He employs Alice, a private speech and language therapist, to 'make him better'. Recently divorced Alice has moved home and business to a small rented flat where, at night, the sea gulls gather on her skylight.
A play about sound, language and meaning.
With thanks to Connect, the communication disability network, for assistance with information on aphasia.
