In an old wooden house by the shore of Lake Ontario in Canada, Louis battles with his elderly father, Don, whose decline into dementia is gradually robbing him of the ability to speak. Louis\u2019 professional success as a university teacher of Classics belies an emotional inarticulacy which matches his father\u2019s inability to express himself in words. And then into their lives comes Flora, the carer that Louis employs to look after Don. Flora is of Scottish heritage and a good listener, and she understands that the \u2018nonsense\u2019 which Don speaks is fragmented Gaelic, opening up an ocean of revelations and buried family history spanning the Atlantic. The play is written by Justin Young with Gaelic by Iain F MacLeod. The actors are Angus Peter Cambell, Muireann Kelly, both with connections with the Gaelic college in Sleat, and Lewis Howden. The production is 2 hours long and includes a pioneering British Sign Language interpretation played on a screen as part of the production.<p><small>Date: 22\/07\/14<br\/><\/small><small>Start Time: 20:00:00<br\/><\/small><small>Venue: Sabhal M\u00f2r Ostaig, TDC main hall<br\/><\/small><small>Audience Numbers: 75<br\/><\/small><small>Type: Performance Dance<br\/><\/small><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1123","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1123\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
