Disability studies have long been the domain of medical and
pedagogical academics. However, in recent years, the subject has
outgrown its clinical origins. In Freaks of History, James
MacDonald presents two dramatic explorations of disability within
the wider themes of sexuality, gender, foreignness and the Other.
Originally directed by Martin Harvey and performed by undergraduate
students at the University of Exeter, Wellclose Square and Unsex Me
Here analyse cultural marginalization against the backdrop of
infamous historical events. MacDonald, who is cerebral palsied,
recognizes that disability narratives are rarely written by and for
disabled people. Therefore, his plays, accompanied by critical
essays and director's notes, are a welcome addition to the emerging
discourse of Crip theory and essential reading for disability
students and academics alike.
