These performance texts were written exclusively for performers
identifying as Deaf, disabled or neuro-divergent. This unique
collection of fictional dramatic monologues was written
specifically for D/deaf and disabled performers (the 'd' of the
title), informed by lived experience. But the 'd' could just as
easily refer to difference, diversity, defiance, determination,
desirability and a host of other delicious 'd's.... Covering a wide
variety of form, content, and theatrical styles, the monologues
offer fresh perspectives on difference and disability from across
the UK and beyond. From biting satire to crip' pride, observational
comedy to poignant revelations of life in contemporary Britain and
beyond, these texts challenge and subvert ingrained preconceptions
of disability and celebrate all the possibilities of human variety.
This collection is the culmination of ten years work, with
fictional monologues inspired by over 100 interviews, conversations
and interactions with D/deaf and disabled individuals
internationally. It brings together new and previously unperformed
texts alongside monologues from In Water I'm Weightless (National
Theatre Wales Cultural Olympiad 2012), the 70 minute stand alone
one-woman show richard iii redux, co-written with Phillip Zarrilli,
and the multilingual intercultural And Suddenly I Disappear: The
Singapore/UK 'd' Monologues. The monologues offer a great resource
for atypical performers as audition pieces and for companies and
individuals as script-in-hand, full productions, solo shows or with
larger casts. The variety of monologues enables flexible
presentation as solo, choral or ensemble performances.
