Written and Performed by Mat Fraser
Friday 7th November @ 8:00pm
At the Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton, WV1 1SE
Mat Fraser's new one man show irreverently charts the history of disability on stage, screen, in music, sport and ridiculous real life, including his own career. Using his trademark brand of PC-free comedy, this will engage, challenge and charm audiences into submission.
With sexy songs and poignant poetry, subversive striptease and mutated magnificence, this is not a show for the easily offended or under 16s.
Contains nudity, swearing and violence.
Tickets: £8 full price and £6 concessions

This film centres on a group of people who, for
various reasons, go around pretending to be mentally and/or physically
disabled. Angry? I was, but it does raise questions about film making

used. more>>>
Bangkok Dangerous is typical of
the Eastern cinema ‘gangster’ genre; however, the reason for reviewing

deaf and mute. more>>>
This film tackles the notoriously taboo subject of self harm. The film is shocking and disturbing but intelligently manages to explore the subject in a non gratuitous or exploitive way. more>>>
