-
3D’ is an extension of the work done in ‘Sideshow’. But it is far more intimate and personal. Actors are telling their real life stories. Again changes in personnel mean a re-drafting of material. But this is essential as Graeae, in these two productions, mean to bring home to audiences the reality of disability and the ordinariness of people with disabilities.”
