All in A Row Reviews 🙃

Was shaming #AllInARowPlay ableism. Now celebrating accessible, inclusive theatre & shaming other ableist productions.

[All in A Row Reviews 🙃 @AllinaRowReview]

#AllinaRowplay: You can’t have an opinion unless you’ve seen the play.

Also them: why shouldn’t we write characters with neurodiversity / disabilities that we don’t have ourselves?

Once #puppetgate is over, this account will become about disability / neurodiversity in the arts. ♿️🧠🚶🏾‍♀️

Shaming ableism like #AllinaRowPlay 💩 & amplifying accessible, inclusive productions 🙌🙌🏿

Question: would you follow this?

(I’m doing it anyway but good to know 😛)

[This Morning @thismorning]

'People with autism need to have the same access that we all have'

@officialJasonG is spreading the word that theatre should be accessible to everybody - 'Nobody should miss out on this wonderful world'.

“disability representation done wrong” #AllinaRowPlay #Puppetgate

[DisabilityArtsOnline @disabilityarts]

Opinion: Neurodivergent writer, Emma Robdale reflects on #puppetgate, the decision of production @allinarowplay to cast the character of an autistic child as a puppet.

@jabad1019 @Paulwady It’s published as a book. 🤢

Happy #ParasiteDay2019 to #AllInARowPlay and everyone else profiting from telling stories of marginalised people that aren’t theirs to tell. #puppetgate

@meowcarriemeow “All in a Row is left it with an irredeemable legacy which has rightly caused outrage to many ...the play’s only strength is its relatively short run time.”

[John Marble @JHMarble]

@FunkSmuggler @wordpressdotcom A primary role of art in society is to offer commentary. However, when a person offers commentary on a marginalized community through the prism of their own privilege and misunderstanding, that’s called exploitation.

[Frances Donnelly @FrankGDonnelly]

The second, and most potentially productive, ask of my @allinarowplay petition is that @swkplay (Southwark Playhouse) draw up guidelines for ethical representation of disabled people in their theatre. Nearly 20K signatures. https://t.co/QducfO2KWg #puppetgate #ActuallyAutistic

[Embrace Autism ✨ @EmbraceAutism__]

@FunkSmuggler @wordpressdotcom “We need more playwrights writing these types of stories, not less.”

You mean stories like dad shitting on mom’s pillow and blaming it on the autistic son? Not sure how this counts as education, nor justifiable art—regardless of whether a puppet was used to tell this story.

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

This is a really, really good point.
