Synopsis:

Inspired by the story of Gomer Jones, a deaf Welsh sniper in World War One
 
Gomer Jones is restless to find where he belongs, but the recent loss of his hearing has left him feeling shut out of the world he longs to join.
 
Amid a company of misfit young men, he becomes an unlikely hero, only to discover that the prize he’s been chasing may not be the one that matters.
 
With grit, heart, and a touch of irreverence, Private Jones is a thrillingly theatrical, completely original new musical about the journeys that transform us and the friendships that remind us we’re not meant to go it alone.
 
This production weaves together integrated British Sign Language (BSL), live creative captioning, a Foley soundscape, and a sweeping original score, featuring a cast of hearing, hard-of-hearing, and deaf performers.
