Touring this show has been a long and bumpy and joyful thing - we can't wait to bring it @RoundhouseLDN on Friday, a venue that has such fond performing memories for me. The show will be captioned and BSL interpreted by Jo Ross.

To mark Disability History Month, I've been working with @SustransScot to create a poetry trail. The project responds to the history of blind institutions in Edinburgh, and more generally, the topic of work among blind and partially sighted people.

Love this work - clever, moving and excellently performed. Get yourself there!
This Thursday, we're at The Byre Theatre in St. Andrews! Our protagonist is ‘an inspiration’, and tired of hearing about it. After receiving news she did not make the GB Paralympics team, she has to face her anger with our ableist world. 16/06, 6pm! byretheatre.com/shows/within…
