Oh Please God, let there be an interpreter for Sound and Fury...  ;D
And I guess Arsene wouldn't need one.

That's probably illegal in all 50 states & most countries.  :D

Yeah, it's pretty hilarious to watch them try to keep up with Zilch as he's telling one of his fairy tales!

Wouldn't Arsene have an interpreter who speaks?

Ziltch just likes 'messing' with the inturpretuers. I saw a show of his with one at Scarby this past year.  My friend who is the mom of a hearing impared child had more fun watching the signer than watching Zitch!

I'm just glad they are doing it.  My friend's kids always have a blast when they can go to faire and have a signer available.

Agreed.  But I would pay double to see that.  Richard and his crew are a trip.

But would he only speak French?

Deaf Awareness Day was a hit!
Sound and Fury did all they could to mess with the Interpreter, She had "Testaclese and the Sack of Rome" in the bag, handled them right well she did! Okay, sorry had to go for the "bad puns" Fit the topic.

Overall the day was a success, looking forward to next year.

Sunday's 3:30 Iris and Rose show was a great and incredibly funny!  The translators did an excellent job.  Iris and Rose's interactions with the translators was something not to be missed!  Having the translators help added to the show and did not detract in the least.  Hope there are more of these days in the future!

I had already seen Hamlet and Juliet once this season, but having Nikki (hope I spelled it right) there as a translator for the Sunday 4:30 show totally amped up the lunacy.
On top of their normal lewdness, they would toss out bizarre random crap, and she not only kept up, but got into the facial expressions and swagger like she was a member of the troupe. I have not laughed that hard in a while.

Please give her our thanks if you are able.
