RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio audio described theatre reviews.
This week Vidar was reviewing the audio described performance of Counting and Cracking at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre on Friday 26 August 7pm with audio description by professional Describer Julia Grundy.
Counting and Cracking follows the journey of one Sri Lankan-Australian family in a story of break up and reunion across two nations.
Winner of 14 major awards including Helpmann Awards for Best Production and Best Direction, Counting and Cracking is written by Sri Lankan Australian S. Shakthidharan and directed by Eamon Flack, Artistic Director of Belvoir, one of Australia’s most celebrated theatre companies.
Toby began by asking Vidar whether Counting and cracking is a vital tale for our times as Critics have been saying.
