Prick Him and I Bleed – Rehearsed Reading

Based on interviews with adult siblings of people with learning-disabilities and autism, and using their words, the play reveals the good, the bad, and the funny of their unique lives. We meet Frank, a 62 year old ex journalist, as he realises he has to take over the care of his twin brother. Can he take on the authorities to get what he wants for John? And what will he lose along the way? We also meet a chorus of younger siblings as they explore the complexities of this unspoken lifelong relationship: for all, a journey of intense love.
