Terry Ruaneとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Terry Ruane (born 21 November 1946 in Croydon, Surrey) is an English actor and director who became profoundly deaf as a result of meningitis at the age of five. Although educated in an oral school, he is also a sign language user, and from 1974 he was the General Manager of the British Theatre of the Deaf under Pat Keysell which was the first-ever professional company of deaf actors to tour Great Britain presenting plays in sign language. When Keysell resigned in 1976, Ruane went on to develop and tour his own company, Interim Theatre Company, which continued for some years and he is believed to be the first deaf person in the UK to co-direct a play, Hearing at Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1979.
