2010 Olivier Award nominated play makes its North American premiere at the Barrow Street Theatre

Tribes follows Billy, a deaf man raised inside the fiercely idiosyncratic and unrepentantly politically incorrect cocoon of his home of his parents' house. He has adapted brilliantly to his hearing family’s unconventional ways, but they’ve never bothered to return the favor. It’s not until he meets Sylvia, a young woman on the brink of deafness, that he finally understands what it means to be understood.

TRIBES received its world premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in 2010 and earned an Olivier Award nomination for Best Play.
