Hello,

My name is Toby and  I am new to the group. I am a disabled playwright and I want to be able to reflect disability on stage.

We live in a world of ever changing rights of women and men, LGBT community and transgender rights. Why is disability rights still being blocked and are still under-represented?

    Hello Toby and welcome

    This is an interesting topic and will probably bring some very mixed responses

    Hello, 

    Thank you. 

    Are there any disability campaigns and rallies around the South of England?

    Hi @tobysimmonds313321, and welcome to the community! In my free time I'm a disabled theatre reviewer/blogger and certainly understand your frustrations with the underrepresentation in the industry. 

    You may like to search for organisations in your area that may be of interest. Hope this helps!
