The first deaf actress to have graduated from the acting school RADA says she hopes her experience has paved the way for other deaf actors in theatre and television. Sophie Stone has appeared on Doctor Who, Two Doors Down and Casualty. She is now enjoying her latest role on stage in a production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth at the Lyric Hammersmith.
