Unique Stories is a disability-led play, adapted from a book, aimed at breaking down the stigma around disability. This multi-media piece full of truth, humour, music and more, shares stories of the eight artists and the full lives they lead.

We believe we can break down the stigma that exists around the disability community by sharing our voices and stories; by showing audiences that we exist in a way that is exciting and fun but also sometimes challenging and that we have similar fears and struggles as others do.

After two successful readings, this three-performance workshop run takes the work from the page to the stage.

According to Luke Andersen, Executive Director of Stop Gap Foundation, “The world needs to see this.”
