Watching Thought

ByFlorianne Springett

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Imagining someone’s thoughts can become important when they cannot talk. Understanding body movement and eye contact becomes the language that we have together and keeps us from being separated. Watching Thought is an illustrated play based on the experience of a mother and her two daughters, one of whom is severely disabled with no speech. It poetically explores non-verbal communication and the emotional needs within the family. It was written, following the experience of social exclusion, as a play to be performed by young people for young people, and for all to read. It opens up a platform for sharing thoughts on disability, coming of age and caring for a family member. Illustrations created for the play by the author. Florianne Springett grew up in London. She studied art and graphic design, followed by a career in design for publishing. Watching Thought is based on her own personal experience.
