Co-Produced with 20 Stories High, Graeae, Liverpool Everyman + Playhouse and LEEDS 2023.
Written and Directed by Keith Saha
The voice of young disabled people often goes unheard. But not anymore. This raucous, radical, celebratory, and hard-hitting hip hop, gig theatre show shares the good times and the not so good times being young and disabled in 2023.
We’ve teamed up with Liverpool-based company 20 Stories High, Liverpool Everyman + Playhouse, and Leeds 2023 to create a unique Hip Hop show with Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists.
Funny, raw and surprising stories told by an amazing collective of actors, beat boxers, rappers, and dancers. Expect heavy beats, stunning visuals and full hearts.
All performances artistically embed access including integrated British Sign Language (BSL), creative captioning and audio description.
