Written and Performed by Jack Hunter

One-man comedy-drama about two twins growing up with cerebral palsy: Bec (a wheelchair user) and Jack (who walks with a limp). Each twin had a very different experience navigating life.

Join Jack as he steps back in time, reliving squabbles with his old womb-mate Bec. All whilst battling against societal attitudes and his own emotional darkside: in the form of a well-known disabled Sith Lord.

In this true tale of twins growing up, their unique bond is tested as they steer through the trials and tribulations of childhood and school – honking at bullies and overthrowing the low expectations foisted upon them. 

An inspiring* solo show with sketch and spoken word, that celebrates disability and diversity. 

*Inspiration not guaranteed.

“a memorably angry and loving call for more understanding of the nuances of disability, particularly from the school system that came close to failing Bec completely; all articulated with a charm, humour and light-touch use of film and visual images that mark Hunter’s arrival as a major presence in Scottish theatre.” (Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman)
