“Blindness isn’t sexy… yet.”
Pleasance Associate Artists FlawBored present their multi-award winning dark comedy.
Blind talent manager Tim desperately tries to make disability the next cultural cachet in a satire of the monetisation of identity politics.
It’s a fully accessible show!
… well we tried to make it fully accessible… it’s somewhat accessible. We tried okay? We are really trying. We’re doing our best to make this show as accessible as possible… but it’s hard… . it’s really f**king hard…

FlawBored
FlawBored is a disability-led theatre company that creates ensemble based work. We formed out of a need to reinvigorate the way access is considered both within shows and within the rehearsal room, believing that it should be thought about from the beginning of the process not added on as an afterthought. We work through play and access is at the core of everything we do; it’s in the way we train our practitioners, the way we devise and therefore it is integrated into the show. We also create unique opportunities for artists and practitioners to reframe the way they think about access. A FlawBored show is cheeky, chaotic and most importantly is not disability ‘trauma-porn’ or ‘pity-porn.’ Our ethos is built by our motto ‘Access is easy if you care’

Praise for Josh Roche:
★ ★ ★ ★
Josh Roche’s powerful and disturbing revival reclaims Storey’s play
The Guardian on Home (Chichester Festival Theatre)
★ ★ ★ ★
Josh Roche handles the rich, rambling intricacy of Smith’s text with finesse, letting each moment of humour, warmth, or melancholy resonate like an echo on the airwaves
