During the pandemic lockdowns we recruited 13 actors with and without learning disabilities from across the UK to our national ensemble. We then commissioned four writers to write four short plays. Each play (JANE THE FOOL by Liz Kuti, SPLIT by Lydia Marchant, THE WISHING STONE by Sarah Middleton and SCOLD by Lou Ramsden) featured a leading role for an actor with a learning disability or neurodivergency. The four plays were developed entirely online and then rehearsed using the Silent Approach and performed first at Chichester Festival Theatre in November 2021 and then at Derby Theatre in January 2022.
