💨 Abstract

"Ohio," now at the Edinburgh Fringe, presents a heartwarming tale by folk duo Shaun and Abigail Bengson. It narrates Shaun's journey with degenerative hearing loss and his drift away from religion, skillfully blending song, poetry, and theater. The show poignantly captures the experience of hearing loss, with captions and sound effects mimicking Shaun's condition. Abigail's unique voice and Shaun's emotionally charged reading of his father's sermon are standouts.
