I saw #LaughingBoy Jermyn Street Theatre last night and, like many others who've seen it, I can't find the words to do it justice. It was astonishing and I sobbed throughout - not out of sentiment or pity but because the power of it floored me 1/

I am taking my dad (Nanu) to see #LaughingBoy on Saturday. We have a spare ticket so if anyone would like to join us (be warned, I will cry), let me know!

I really, really love this - I'd like a visual story for everywhere I visit, how to find it, what's next door, where the loos are - sorted.

Here is an easy read version of the keynote paper I gave at #sscr2024 at the NIHR School for Social Care Research annual conference:

'Everyone here seems to be happily immersed in the strange magic of turning the script resting on their laps into something full of life.'

Brecht on Laughing Boy
⁦Prof Ryan⁩ ❤️

Do try to see Laughing Boy if you get the chance. It’s an incredibly important play.

‘those of us in the arts have a bigger responsibility’

Stephen Unwin got the memo.

#LaughingBoy 🎭

Go see, cry, laugh, rage and as the reviews say leave lost for words❤️

Just back from seeing #LaughingBoy . Train from Scotland now a night now in YHA with 14. Tears, laughter, bewilderment, sorrow, smiles. It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Please try to see it while you can.

People with learning disabilities want to see their friends and for their needs to be recognised so they can get the required help to live their best life. Is it too much to ask …

I’ll send the Tory Party a “receipt” for what I spend my disability benefits on when they send me a receipt for what they’re spending my taxes on. I’ll stop when they can be trusted not to waste it on bungs to their mates for dodgy PPE or shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda.
