Play: Living Without Fear

Scene from Living Without Fear

Actors from Blue Apple’s touring company, who themselves have learning disabilities, bring an authentic voice to this fearless and empowering examination of disability hate crime and harassment. Blending drama and dance, humour and tragedy, the performance challenges and empowers each one of us to end disability hate crime.

Living Without Fear was written by William Jessop and is directed by Peter Clerke, with choreography by Jo Harris.

Blue Apple actors have taken 'Living Without Fear', to Parliament at the invitation of Mr Speaker John Bercow. They performed in Speaker's House to an audience which included ministers, MPs, Members of the House of Lords and Chief Police Officers.

"This was something I personally will never forget, and I am truly thrilled. This was a very special evening which I know had a profound impact on everyone present. Blue Apple is not just a Winchester phenomenon, it is a national phenomenon" Steve Brine MP.

Lord Alton of Liverpool said the play was “a profoundly moving and challenging production. It deserves to be seen by a wide audience.”
