Jonny Cotsen, father, artist, performer and star of Louder Is Not Always Clearer is excited to announce a new 2020 tour that will take the show across the UK and beyond.
Born deaf to hearing parents, Jonny did not identify as deaf until much later in his life. He struggles daily as a deaf man in a hearing world and created Louder with the Clarks to provide an insight into his life for D/deaf and hearing audiences alike.
From May 2020 Jonny and the Clarks will appear in venues across the UK and Europe – performing in Paris, London and The Hague as well as a host of other venues. See our Dates page for details of how to catch a performance of Louder near you.
“We’ve had so much interest in this show…we are lining up shows in Europe and have just had a confirmed offer from Porto Alegre in Brazil! We are also truly delighted to be part of the National Rural Touring programme and are just as excited to be going to Cumbria, Sussex, Cornwall and Somerset. It’s going to be a very exciting year.” – Gareth Clark
Booking is essential.
The show is accessible to D/deaf, hard of hearing and hearing audiences through the use of English, British Sign language and creative captions

“A brilliant exercise in empathy as it allows a hearing audience to briefly experience the world as Cotsen sees and hears it”
Lyn Gardner, Stage Door
“This unpretentiously charming show has been made for both him and us. It’s a story that needs telling, and it’s got a communal ending you’re not likely to forget.”
Fest – 4 Star Review – Donald Hutera
What’s On Stage – 4 Star Review – “It’s an impressive and thought-provoking effect of a delicate work, carefully constructed by the Welsh theatre company Mr & Mrs Clark”
Sarah Crompton
Get The Chance – 5 Star Review – “It is unashamed, unapologetic and something fully needed in the forefront of society”
