Vici Wreford-Sinnott: Unruly
EventAbout Vici Wreford-Sinnott: Unruly
Marina and Suze, a force of post-punk, police-agitating, bollocks-shouting duo were changing the world through the disability rights movement. Best friends from childhood, the pair had a loyal, fiery relationship, but now Marina has lost Suze forever, and the revolution has to stop for a while. Marina reflects on their riotous journey, embodying their world, as she summons a lineage of powerful disabled heroines.
In order to say goodbye to Suze properly, Marina questions whether it has all been worth it. Acknowledging the personal cost of campaigning, and feeling like she has to query her own role, she carefully unpacks her life and slowly removes the layers of women she was expected to be by others.
Unruly is written and performed by Vici Wreford-Sinnott alongside award-winning composer and musician Beccy Owen. Bex Bowsher directs this rare piece of disabled women-led theatre with an impassioned call to action. We invite you to celebrate these hidden radicals while considering whether doing nothing to oppose brutal injustice is ever really an option.
Unruly is a powerful, urgent show about refusing to be invisible in hostile environments and the power of friendship and community to get us through.
Access information
Captioning, audio description and BSL
This show has integral captioning and audio description is written into the script. There is integrated BSL Interpretation, please ask our Sales and Events team about the best seating for each.
Access Culture of the show
There will be a warm welcome into the theatre. We create work to be as accessible as possible and we want audiences to feel comfortable in the space.
It's fine to come and go in the theatre if you need the loo or to take a break.
People who make involuntary noises based on their conditions are welcome, and as such we expect all audience members to be respectful of all other audience members. It is a ‘tutting’ and frowning free-zone.
There is no audience participation during the show, so no one will be put on the spot for anything.
Access dogs are welcome. Do let us know in advance where possible.
Music and sound
All music is performed live by one musician/sound artist/singer. Some of the music is in a punk style and so many have attitude and a degree of reasonable volume. No loud bangs and no distorted sound are expected.
There are a couple of moments where the actor raises their voice in the context of the play.
Content awareness
The play explores themes of friendship and loss, reflection on life events, amazing disabled women from history who achieved incredible things against very challenging and discriminatory social backdrops. There are references to death – there is no detail described. There is also references to drinking alcohol.
