New Play: Laundry Boy
I’ve just been sent a Tweet about a new play by an inclusive theatre called Face Front. The main characters in Laundry Boy have learning difficulties, and the main actors are learning disabled. The Face Front website says:
Martin’s time has come to move on from dependence to independence. His journey is both terrifying and exciting as he falls in love, suffers loss and gains a glimpse of who he could be.
Everything was ticking along as normal for Laundry Boy, Martin – or so he thought – when suddenly he was spun into making some life-changing choices.
Fluff and fold or college?
Love or just friends?
Marmite or jam?
Will he be able to choose for himself? Or have the decisions made for him? Follow Martin in this sometimes painful yet heart-warming story as he whirls from boy to man.Laundry Boy is a new play devised and performed by an outstanding team including award winning writers Julie McNamara and Ray Downing, Choreographer Chisato Minamimura and popular Learning Disabled actors Peter Faventi and Ellen Goodey. Directed by Annie Smol.
