A powerful new play about making a stand.
From Francesca Martinez, the award-winning comedian, author and actor, comes an unmissable new play directed by Ian Rickson (Paradise, Translations, Jerusalem).
“Urgent, funny and intensely moving... It demands we build a society where we can truly see and value one another. Its insistence on radical empathy shines bright.” Guardian
“Powerful and poignant... Wittily dismantles preconceptions about life with disability... A call to action that fizzes with rage and protest.” Stage
“Both gut-wrenchingly serious and hilariously funny… A stimulating piece of theatre.'” British Theatre Guide
“Harnesses theatre's unique power to affect the emotions viscerally, to shake the complacency out of us, to upset us and anger us. Martinez's play does that and powerfully so.” Broadway World
Award-winning wobbly comedian Francesca Martinez’s funny, personal, and universal story of how she learned to stick two shaky fingers up to the crazy expectations of a world obsessed with being ‘normal’.
