25 – 30 March
Usually disabled people just want to do the right thing. But what if they don’t?
What if they were out to make as much money as possible from the guilt of non-disabled, anxious people (like you?). Hot off the back of their smash-hit run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, multi-award-winning, disability-led theatre company FlawBored present It’s a Motherf**king Pleasure; ‘a smart, scathing satire’ on the monetisation of identity politics that spares no-one.
It’s a Motherf**king Pleasure is a satirical exploration of the complexities of identity politics in corporate environment.
Samuel Brewer from London-based FlawBored said: “There’s a tendency for an audience to expect disabled work to be autobiographical, or laden in trauma, or ‘pity porn’.
“After noticing an air of sacredness around certain topics, we wanted to vandalise that sacredness, to take shots at ourselves and at the audience. We’re giving a middle finger to earnestness in disabled work. This is a show in which integrated access is front and centre, which helps us to make a bloody good show.”
