Show – It's a Motherf**king Pleasure.
The debut show by visually impaired led company FlawBored, It's a Motherf**king Pleasure is a dark satire exploring disabled identities, identity politics, social media, ableist guilt and access. FlawBored are winners of the LET/Greenwich Theatre Award, Pleasance Associate Artists & Theatre Deli Resident Artists. The show was supported by Arts Council England and a seed commission from CPT. The show opened at VAULT Festival to multiple 5 star reviews, sell-out audiences and has been nominated for two Offies and the VAULT show of the week award. There has been significant interest for a future life and the show is currently shortlisted for the prestigious Untapped award from Underbelly and New Diorama Theatre.
