The majority of Reunion's cast and crew are deaf and/or familiar with British Sign Language, including Gurney. "William's scripts are electrifying and it's a privilege to bring Brennan to life in this gripping tale of revenge, redemption and reconciliation," said Gurney.

It's about our need to acknowledge each other's truths- both inside our own families and beyond. The team is so extraordinary. I feel very honoured to be rubbing shoulders with them".
