CRIPtic Arts: The Acts image
Synopsis:

A searingly honest, bold, and gripping piece of theatre, bringing together performances from four of the UK’s most exciting disabled theatre makers and companies.
 
Join us inside the walls of a bustling but dysfunctional theatre, where four acts are hard at work on their latest productions: a solo show about love, joy, and cancer; a comedy about the ways neurodivergent people are expected to sell their stories for the stage; a theatrical adaptation of a short film entangling Greek mythology and the seaside pier; and a multisensory meditation on isolation and moon landings. 
 
In a landscape of intense time pressures, and shoestring budgets, the performers are overstretched and under-supported. Perhaps we need an artistic revolution?
CRIPtic Arts, founded by Artistic Director Jamie Hale, is a disabled-led creative hub bringing the most exciting disabled creatives to UK and international stages.
