“Renton’s poetry has a conversational fluidity, a sense of motion and an underlying dry wit. The imagery is sharp and crisp. [...] It’s an assured, engaging piece of work.”

We loved performing at the #CelebratingTenYears Festival last weekend, it was a surreal moment to take our show about the Paralympics to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park @noordinarypark!
ALT Taken from the side of a stage between blackout curtains, Ellen (a white woman with albinism in her 20s wearing running clothes) is standing with her back to the audience. She is mid performance and her pose is triumphant. The words Celebrating Ten Years Festival are visible at the back of the stage.

This Thursday, we're at The Byre Theatre in St. Andrews!
Our protagonist is ‘an inspiration’, and tired of hearing about it. After receiving news she did not make the GB Paralympics team, she has to face her anger with our ableist world.
