Jenny Sealey
Jenny Sealey has spent her career to date championing the work of Deaf and Disabled artists and the importance of having their stories on our stages and screens. Now, she shares her own experience as a Deaf theatre-maker and advocate in a highly personal book.
In this book, she discusses running disabled-led Graeae theatre company for the past 30 years. She reveals her passionate and long-standing commitment to inclusivity and equality within the arts and how she and Graeae have made strides in the area, including the creative integration of sign language, captioning and audio description in performance.
Irreverent, frank and profound, Sealey is an inspiring spokesperson for disabled artists' rights, the importance of theatre within our cultural ecosystem and the power of performance to find connections and make positive change in the world.
The stories she shares in this book of growing up in a family where she suffered abuse and shame amongst her peers and teachers for her deafness are not easy to read, but they're crucial in understanding the unjust struggles that have accompanied Sealey on her remarkable journey.©2027 Jenny Sealey (P)2027 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Kritikerröster
‘Not just a wonderful book about theatre and its essential part in all our lives, but about courage and creativity in a world where the challenges and cruelties of all our systems are even more baleful and difficult to navigate. Deafiant is so humane and so funny with some glorious texts embedded within it. Jenny Sealey is a human tourdeforce and this mighty, political, artistic and fiercely intelligent work should be read by all who care about anything. It makes us consider how we treat Disabled people who are perceived ignorantly and, as a result, excluded from a world that needs their talents and their insight. It’s a reminder that we are all connected.’
‘Jenny Sealey is a game-changer and this is the story of how she changed the game. Wonderful, passionate and full of wit, this is a fantastic book.’
