Translating Tennessee Williams's poetic cadences into sign language may seem a risky undertaking. But the challenge was a familiar one for Ed Waterstreet, artistic director of Deaf West Theatre, the first professional resident sign-language theatre in the western United States. Formerly an actor with the National Theatre for the Deaf, Waterstreet founded Deaf West a decade ago and has subsequently shepherded the company and its guest directors through sign-language versions of numerous classics--Equus, Medea, Of Mice and Men and The House of Bernarda Alba, among others.
