“Stunningly inventive satire”

— The Times

A scathing, hilarious satire on the monetization of identity politics which spares no one.

Usually disabled people 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 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre NY runs, multi award-winning, disability-led theatre company FlawBored presents a scathing satire on the monetization of identity politics which spares no one and literally has audiences catching their breath between fits of laughter.

Company

Flawbored


FlawBored is a multi award winning disability led Theatre Company,  Co founded  by Samuel Brewer, Aarian Mehrabani and Chloe Palmer. They create meta theatrical work with dark irreverence which aims to address complex and uncomfortable issues surrounding identity which no one has the answers to.

There shows all feature integrated, creative access through out and seek to create an environment where  all audiences, regardless of impairments and disabilities are able to access the same show.  

A FlawBored show is cheeky, chaotic and most importantly is not disability ‘trauma-porn’ or ‘pity-porn.’

Buzz

★★★★

“Their pin-sharp show is overflowing with dark humour and righteous anger, but there’s no finger-waving. The perfect ally doesn’t exist – we’re all failing terribly, but acknowledging that is half the battle.”
