Theatre + Cerebral Palsy = success?

Come on now, really? Cerebral palsy and theatre don’t mix! And yet, Bats Theatre in Wellington is challenging that notion by staging ‘KatyDid’, the lead character of which does indeed have cerebral palsy. It’s almost worth a trip down to the capital to see it!
The play is proving so popular that they’re adding extra shows this weekend to cope with the demand. So if you live in Wellington, and fancy a bit of spice with your theatre, grab your tickets now!
Although I’m told, somewhat ironically, that the theatre itself is inaccessible to wheelchair users… sigh!

Ironically, I've also been informed that neither the cast nor directors/writers are disabled. Interesting…
I heard that the theatre was made accessible for this show…
Oh that's cool if it's the case, but certainly goes against what I've been told by two different people…
Besides, how do you make a flight of stairs accessible..? ;P
Such a great performance….
It was accessible and had a number of guests in wheelchairs, which made for very powerful performances!
Also the writer grew up with a sister with a intellectual disability which aided in the understanding of this script.
Oh excellent, glad to hear it was a good show – wish I could've made it!
