This retelling of the classic tale of Cinderella comes with the mean stepfamily, love-struck prince, glass slipper, and a magical hearing aid.
For Cinderella, lipreading is a guessing game she often loses, even with her magical hearing aid. Her stepfamily bullies her, saying her hearing loss is a burden and embarrasses them. They constantly demand that she try harder to hear and pay attention. When Cinderella loses her hearing aid, she’s blamed for everything that goes wrong and fears she’ll be forced to live in the streets.
During a chance encounter with a stranger, Cinderella learns she has choices around communication. Choices that support her needs as a deaf person and encourage her to make the fateful decision to leave the only life she has ever known.
A tale of a deaf person’s search for authenticity and empowerment.
