EP 8: Cripping Shakespeare

Shaking Up Shakespeare

In this episode, co-host Hope Van Der Merwe speaks with three disabled artists about Cripping Shakespeare, inequities faced by disabled actors in the Canadian theatre industry, and how to create more inclusive, equitable, and accessible rehearsal spaces for disabled artists. This episode highlights how important it is to invest in disabled artists and disabled artist-lead works as we strive to build an industry where everyone – regardless of disability and ability – is celebrated.

This episode features conversations with Faith Andrew, Rachel Arnold, and Debbie Patterson.
