Martha

2055. The Programme has driven Deafness underground. Using sign language is forbidden and is a radical act of protest, evoking suspicion and oppression. Is Martha’s cabaret club a welcome home for an excluded minority, a safe haven for potential terrorists or something even more sinister?
When Edith tries to infiltrate this guarded community, her world is blown apart as hidden histories, family secrets and the lies of the state are brought explosively to light.

I was asked by Taking Flight: Wales’s leading accessible theatre company, to design a print poster and accompanying digital assets to promote their latest play. They wanted something that felt sci-fi-noir but also handmade and a bit gritty. The illustration was digitally painted before typesetting the poster and programme then applying it across diffreent outputs.
