Playhouse restored, raised its curtain
Revealing the Neuro -diverse fare
National Theatre Haddon novel
Made its Mark, cast as a play
Captioned with sign a silent voice
Translated for the hard of hearing
Confusion of central character
Nuanced story of the dog detective
Who, discovered the truth within falsehoods?
Travelling in life’s confusion
Trained amongst the masses
For his mother’s resurrection
Shan's head bobbed from side to side
Dancing in response to see around
The big head of views impediment
Seated in front could not dampen the mood
Swimming in the cocktail that stemmed
Distraction with a mere sip through the lips
,
Oppressive sound track lights panic
Overwhelmed by the world
Examined but overcome
The equation of success
Solution performed with gusto
Withheld until final curtain
From the stalls, she saw everything,
A new theatre, a new beginning
For years since quiet was imposed
Four years before cochlear encore
Applauded when granted an audience
Smile shared in a moment of satisfaction
My daughter, my pride, my joy
