Queen’s Hall are delighted to be supporting the first public reading of Prick Him and I Bleed (working title): a new verbatim play in development by Susan Betts.
The play uses the real words, taken from interviews with over 30 people, ages 18 to 79, to explore the complex and lifelong relationship of being a sibling to someone with complex needs. The play reveals the good, the bad, and the funny stories of family life through the voice of the siblings.
The script in hand reading will be directed by award winning director, and Co-Artist Director of Lung Theatre, Matt Woodhead.
After the reading, there will be an informal Q&A. By putting their questions and observations to the writer, director and actors, the audience will be supporting the future development of the play. Susan hopes that the piece can go on to be produced, bringing this silent perspective to a wider audience.
The project being is supported by Queen’s Hall Arts; Sibs, Britain’s only charity for siblings of disabled people; and generously funded by Arts Council England.
