Playing From the Heart - Trailer - Play based on the early life of Evelyn Glennie

Playing from the Heart is a play about the childhood of Evelyn Glennie. It's a gritty yet poetic piece which tells how Evelyn became a musician despite becoming profoundly deaf between eight and twelve years old.

The realistic narrative is linked by a series of imaginative set pieces, which explore the inner world of the deaf child. The play explores themes of family love, overcoming impossible barriers and the very nature of art/music. It also provides a rich mix of movement, music and text.

This trailer is for the DVD of the play produced by Imagination Stage. Directed by Janet Stanford.
