The Stage

Usually, disabled people just want to do the right thing. But what if they didn’t?

What if they were out to make as much money as possible from the guilt of non-disabled, anxious people (like you)?

At RIZE PR, Tim, Ross and Helen come up with a plan to make disability a mainstream commodity, an experiential product that straight, white non-disabled people can buy. But it turns out, it's easier than they thought and it quickly begins to spiral out of control. 

Meanwhile, Chloe, Sam and Aarian are just trying to deliver a fully accessible show. But there's a problem: John the Captioner has gone rogue and some access provisions begin to conflict with others, raising the question of whether there even is such a thing as a 'fully accessible' show.  

A scathing satire on the monetisation of identity politics.
