Urban thriller Soundproof, a BBC coproduction with indie Blast Films, is currently in production for transmission on BBC2 in 2006.
Created by Bafta-winning director Edmund Coulthard (Tales From Pleasure Beach) and written by newcomer Joe Fisher, Soundproof breaks new ground, says the BBC, by bringing deaf and hearing actors together in a contemporary whodunnit.
Susan Lynch (Enduring Love), Joseph Mawle (Dunkirk), Neil Stuke (Faith) and Brendan Coyle (North and South) star. In the show, a deaf man suspected of murder falls in love with the sign language interpreter brought in to help the police question him.
"I wanted to create a rollercoaster thriller that takes the viewer into the experience of being deaf in a very different way," said Coulthard. "In trying to work out whether the lead deaf character is innocent or guilty, the viewer has to experience Dean's world through his eyes."
Soundproof is produced by Madonna Baptiste, who also produced the Prix Italia-winning film The Death of Klinghoffer. The exec producers are Hilary Salmon (BBC) and Robin Gutch (Blast Films). The show is unrelated to the Channel 4 spoof doc series of the same name, airing this autumn.
