Mission Statement
Tin Bath was set up to create original high quality artistically led theatre in both London and in Britain and ultimately internationally. We want to create new ways of incorporating subtitling into productions to make theatre fully accessible for the deaf community. With Fight Face we have discovered and explored new techniques that we now aim to tour in 2010. We hope to challenge preconceptions about deaf performers and audiences and make accessibility an artistic and integral part of performance. We do not make work just for deaf audiences, we make work for everyone.
Background
Fight Face is the second collaboration between Sophie Woolley and Gemma Fairlie after the highly successful When to Run. This one woman show starring Sophie toured the country, sold out several performances at the Royal Festival Hall and enjoyed runs at the Soho Theatre and Edinburgh Festival. Irvine Welsh described Sophie Woolley's Edinburgh debut When to Run as a "stunning, electrifying show full of imagination and verve. She creates characters and worlds that shock us, and then pulls us into those worlds with her great performances. She's massively talented and is already becoming hugely successful."
