‘Acted with verve, wittily scripted, both funny and hard-hitting’
Funny Peculiar by Vici Wreford-Sinnott
Zsa Zsa, Raquelle, Blanche and Cuba are in quarantine – four disabled women locked down, locked in, shut up and shouted down.
While the rest of the nation is in meltdown, it takes a lot to phase this quartet.
The new terrain is worrying and frustrating but these women are prepared – perhaps they have waited for a moment like this their whole lives.
In a sequence of four original, cross-cutting, witty and wise monologues, broadcasting from their own homes during quarantine, these women are myth-busters giving their all to expose the lie of vulnerability.
‘Acted with verve, wittily scripted, both funny and hard-hitting’
★★★★ The Stage
Siege by Vici Wreford-Sinnott
Siege is a short, filmed character monologue exploring what it means to be disabled and ‘looked at’. From a longer-term piece of work, it centres on the character of Mim (rhymes with quim). Mim is a funny, edgy radical, trying to live a subversive lifestyle right slap bang in the middle of the radar, with a shame-free approach to the disabled female body, who can’t get a gig. What’s it gonna take to change that?
You can find our more about the inspiration behind Siege in this blog post from Vici Wreford-Sinnott.
