We are a Disabled-led theatre company where collaboration and co-creation meet mischief and merriment. We make accessible theatre to delight young audiences.
We had a wonderful time touring our @DarylAndCo coproduction Look Mum, No Hands! this year across Europe, meeting familiar faces & making new friends. Each city had its unique charm & the enthusiastic audiences fuelled our performances.
