FlawBored
‘FlawBored aren’t just breaking the mould; they are smashing it to smithereens.’ Lyn Gardner
FlawBored is a multi award-winning disability-led theatre company, co-founded by Samuel Brewer, Aarian Mehrabani and Chloe Palmer. They create satirical work with dark irreverence which aims to address complex and uncomfortable issues surrounding identity which no one has the answers to. FlawBored shows feature integrated, creative access throughout and seek to create an environment where all audiences are able to access the same show. A FlawBored show is cheeky, chaotic and most importantly is not disability ‘trauma-porn’ or ‘pity-porn.’
It's a Motherf**king Pleasure has toured nationally to venues including Southbank Centre, Soho Theatre, Bristol Old Vic, Leeds Playhouse & Brighton Dome and internationally to Det Andre Teatret, Oslo, Soho Playhouse, NYC, Woolly Mammoth, Washington DC and Arts Emerson, Boston.
What's the F**king Point? is FlawBored's second show and is the recipient of Unlimited UK Open Awards 2024.
Join us after the show on Fri 12 Feb for a Q&A session. Hear directly from the artists and creators of the work.
