Description Commissioned and developed at Underbelly Arts 2017.
“There is a point near the end of the play where the actors try to form a line based on who is most disabled. [Line break.] In keeping with the rest of the production, the scene is both humorous and confronting. […] By this stage, it's unclear which of the 11 actors has a diagnosable disability, and this turns out to be the play's central message.”
