March:

• Whiter Than Snow by Mike Kenny turned the Snow White story on its head and then went on a national tour.

  Graeae’s Words: “Meet Frieda and the Frantz family, the world-famous travelling performers of the best Snow White story you’ll ever see. But there’s a problem, Snow White has done a bunk with the Prince!”

  Reviewer’s words: “Given a wartime setting that puts you in mind of Nazi experiments in concentration camps, the play explores the uses and abuses. Of science and is given all the more resonance as it is performed by an integrated cast of able-bodied and disabled actors. Graeae is hot from its success with a revival of Sarah Kane’s Blasted and this project is another example of a company that is grappling with complex issues within a theatre setting.” -Lyn Gardner, The Guide, March 24-30, 2007.

October:

• Based on the lives of the girls in John Groom’s Crippleage in Clerkenwell in the early 1900s, Flower Girls, directed by Jenny Sealey resulted in a tour and a book publication.

  Graeae’s Words: “Flower Girls is the funny, beautifully observed and uplifting story of a group of disabled women who live and work at The Crippleage Edgware. Inspired by the personal testimony and reminiscences of real-life Flower Girls, the play shifts effortlessly between the unsettled early years of World War II and the seemingly more liberated world of 1965. Their stories reveal an indomitable spirit and a fierce determination to hind their place in the world, a world that prefers to keep them at a safe distance.”
