While the world outside is in chaos, three neurodiverse inhabitants of an apocalyptic bunker are doing their best to survive, in this surreal show.
Blending film, live performance and conversation, Touretteshero’s funny and moving show explores resistance and joy in the face of a crisis, and the right of disabled people to exist.
The follow up to Touretteshero’s smash-hit productions Backstage in Biscuit Land and Not I by Samuel Beckett, featuring writer, artist, and activist Jess Thom.
Founded in 2010, Touretteshero is a disabled-led, multi-award-winning arts organisation. Their mission is to create a more inclusive and socially just society through our cultural practice.
They make thought-provoking, joyful work that inspires change within the arts sector and beyond, and help identify and remove barriers that exclude disabled people wherever they occur.

Co-written by Jess Thom, Matthew Pountney, Ria Parry, Jess Mabel Jones and Charmaine Wombwell. Designed by Ben Pacey. Produced by Rosie Scudder. Costume customisation by Mydei Maf.
