D is for Dyslexia
What it means to live in a world surrounded by words when you don’t know how to use them.
D is for Dyslexia is an autobiographical/informational work of theatre playing with what it means to live in a world surrounded by words when you don’t know how to use them.
Matt meanders, digresses and pontificates through the history of language, how brains work, and dyslexia in the education system, amongst other things. It is playful, it is funny, it is honest, and – depending on the quality of Matt’s fact-checking – vaguely informative.
