Frelich and Matlin Unite for Screen Adaptation of Sweet Nothing in My Ear

Children of a Lesser God Tony winner Phyllis Frelich and her Academy Award-winning film counter-part, Marlee Matlin, will star in the screen adaptation of Stephen Sachs' play Sweet Nothing In My Ear for Hallmark Hall of Fame television.

Emmy winner Jeff Daniels and Ed Waterstreet, co-founder of the Deaf West Theatre, join Matlin and Frelich in "Sweet Nothing in My Ear," which is currently aiming for an April 2008 bow on CBS television.

In "Sweet Nothing In My Ear," "Laura (Matlin), who is deaf, and Dan (Daniels), who is hearing, are an attractive young couple happily married for nine years. Their son Adam was born hearing, but by age six has also become deaf," press notes state. "When Dan decides to pursue the possibility of a cochlear implant for his boy - a tiny computer chip inserted in the brain that would allow him to regain his hearing - a divisive wedge is driven between husband and wife that threatens to shatter their marriage."

Marlee Matlin earned an Academy Award for her portrayal of Sarah Norman in the film adaptation of Children of a Lesser God, the role which earned Frelich a Tony Award on Broadway. "Sweet Nothing In My Ear" finds Frelich portraying Matlin's mother, marking the first time the two actresses have worked together.

Sweet Nothing in My Ear received its world premiere in 1997 at Los Angeles' Fountain Theatre, where Sachs serves as co-artistic director.
Emmy Award winner Joseph Sargent directs the screen adaptation.

Frelich has appeared on Broadway in Children of a Lesser God, Prymate and the Deaf West revival of Big River. Her screen credits include "Children on Their Birthdays," "L.A. Law," "Diagnosis Murder" and "ER."

Marlee Matlin's screen credits include "The L Word," "The West Wing,"
"It's My Party" and "Children of a Lesser God."
 
I got that informations in my email but it don't say when it comes out on which date and what time. They need to be more speific. smile
 
Great—another TV special portraying Deaf people as infighting retards at odds with the ‘hearing establishment’. Just what we need—way to go. :roll: I’ll still watch it, though.
 

Phillips, you really beat me to make the announcement on the new movie. I just made a new thread and Roadrunner help me move the thread to head the forum. Yes, I got the information from my E-mail. I think the reason why is there is no date and time is because all over United States and Canada will have different times to watch the movie. So all you have to wait is when April 2008 comes. They will tell you what time and day you will be watching. Just be patient. It will be worth watching. We need that to tell hearing people not to put Cochlear Implant on very young people especially babies because we are losing our ASL. So wake up and support ASL. There is nothing wrong with wearing hearing aid. You can take it off if that bother you with the noise, beside it is surgery and there is a lot of disadvantages to it. Okay? :ty:
