Graeae Theatre is one of the most important artistic companies in the UK. A force for change in world-class theatre they boldly place deaf and disabled actors centre stage and challenging preconceptions in a diversity of new and existing plays. 

Graeae pioneers a radical dramatic language by exploring the “aesthetics of access”, creatively embedding a range of tools such as audio description and sign language from the very beginning of the artistic process.  They explore new territory and theatrical genres – from contemporary classics to musicals, to the outdoor circuit… with sway poles and giant puppets! 

Jenny has been Graeae’s Artistic Director since 1997 and is from Nottingham originally.  She also won the Liberty Human Rights Arts Award and was on the h.Club 100 list of the most influential people in the creative industries.
