CRIPtic Arts: The Acts

A searingly honest, bold, and gripping piece of theatre, bringing together performances from five 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. But can the fifth act – an absurdly inappropriate workplace wellness seminar solve all of their problems? Or do we just need an artistic revolution?

CRIPtic Arts, founded by Artistic Director Jamie Hale, is a disabled-led creative hub.

All performances are relaxed and have integrated audio description, BSL-interpretation and captioning. Take a look at our Accessible Events page to find out more about the accessibility of our venues.
