Loud and proud

In 2017, NOISE — a groundbreaking new play, written, produced and directed by our very own Thomas — had its world premiere at The Old Rep Theatre, opening to 4 and 5 star reviews.

Following a deaf, queer university fresher on his pursuit of love in halls, it was down to Thomas to craft a unique visual identity for the show’s marketing and launch a national campaign, complete with: print collateral, video content, OOH advertising, TV and radio interviews, e-shots, and paid social activity.

The play’s key themes of communication and togetherness informed many of the project’s design elements, all of which incorporated BSL Interpretation, Closed Captions, and Audio Description where possible to honour our core value of championing accessibility.
