Funny Peculiar & Siege

Funny Peculiar

Zsa Zsa, Raquelle, Blanche and Cuba are in quarantine – four disabled women locked down, locked in, shut up and shouted down.

While the rest of the nation is in meltdown, it takes a lot to phase this quartet.

The new terrain is worrying and frustrating but these women are prepared - perhaps they have waited for a moment like this their whole lives.

In a sequence of four original, cross-cutting, witty and wise monologues, broadcasting from their own homes during quarantine, these women are myth-busters giving their all to expose the lie of vulnerability.

'Acted with verve, wittily scripted, both funny and hard-hitting' 
★★★★ The Stage 

Siege

Siege is a short, filmed character monologue exploring what it means to be disabled and ‘looked at’. It’s from a longer-term piece of work and centres on the character of Mim (rhymes with quim). Mim is a funny, edgy radical, trying to live a subversive lifestyle right slap bang in the middle of the radar, with a shame-free approach to the disabled female body, who can’t get a gig. What’s it gonna take to change that?

“Chock-full of witty and cleverly explored disability politics and feminist issues.”
