Stephen Bailey and ASYLUM Arts present the darkly comedic Autistic as Fuck for The Acts. Leading up to the show we wanted to talk about why it’s important for disabled people to be represented in theatre, here’s what Stephen had to say. 🧵 1/9
Stephen Bailey ASYLUM Arts “Theatre has long used disability as a tool for metaphor, tragedy, or fascination, yet it has often excluded actual disabled people from its stages and narratives. It loves disability but disdains disabled people.“ 2/9
