Title: Listen to me
First published: 1984
Description: This is a biography of American actress Elizabeth Quinn, who played the role of Sarah in the London stage production of Children of a Lesser God. Throughout her entire life, Quinn was resented and criticized by others in the deaf community because she didn't quite fit the mold. She became deaf after she learned to speak, and while she became fluent in sign language, her hearing father had instilled a love of storytelling by taking her to stage plays and musicals as a child. This made her less than deaf. Not hearing, but not Deaf either. But this is also a story of hope and making impossible dreams come true - Quinn was an integral part of establishing modern deaf theater in America.
