- Summary:
- This book is comprised of four-esteemed plays for undergraduate drama performance exploring the world of disability through the backdrop of history. Wellclose Square revisits the Whitechapel murders to explore the origins of criminal genetic engineering; Unsex Me Here uncovers the hidden Nazi programme of genocide against the disabled; Gnarled explores the life and times of a hideously disabled prostitute in the Victorian era--who survived into her 80s, and Cripplegate, recently zoomed with distinguished professional actors, is a personal account of disabled trial and triumph.Together, the plays offer students and general readers alike, a riveting panorama of disabled life, characterised by Joyce Carol Oates as "the triumph of twisted".
