Episode: Prologue One: Community

Notes from The Listener:
Clever drama series about a newly deaf woman called Bet trying to navigate her changed life. This is one of four shorter prologues to the main series of longer episodes, and it tells the story of her first attempt to go to a sign language class. The other participants make assumptions about her, leaving her nervous and prickly, and she finds that she can feel just as alone among people signing as she can with her inconsiderate family. The whole show is well suited to audio, using sound design to share Bet's auditory perspective
Bet attempts to take some initiative and attend a sign language class.
Content warnings: Mention of illness, mention of alcohol, some strong language, ableism.
