Graeae's story begins...
Sideshow premieres at Surrey University before embarking on a tour of North America. In the Autumn BBC2 begins filming a documentary on the company which will be aired to coincide with the opening of the IYDP.
May- November:
- Sideshow premieres at Surry University before embarking on Illinois tour. The tour included 27 shows over 23 days with each performance at a different venue. After the Illinois tour, production went to the International Conference on Disability and Rehabilitation in Winnipeg. The tour finally concluded with a stint in England and Wales.
Sideshow in Graeae’s words: “…part burlesque, part satire, features an array of characters trapped in a fairground freak show. They are determined not to be treated as freaks and break out into the ‘real’ world. Their experiences are explored in songs and sketches.”
