High Times and Dirty Monsters is a brand-new Hip-Hop Theatre show exploring the highs and lows of Deaf, Disabled & Neurodivergent young adults in contemporary Britain.
The voice of young disabled people often goes unheard. But not anymore – this raucous, radical, celebratory, and hard-hitting hip hop gig theatre show shares the good times and the not so good times of being young and disabled in 2023.
Funny, raw and surprising stories told by an amazing collective of actors, beatboxers, and dancers. With creative captioning, integrated sign language and integrated audio description.
Expect heavy beats, stunning visuals and full hearts.
Co-produced by 20 Stories High, Graeae Theatre Company, Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and LEEDS 2023.
Supported by Arts Council England, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, The Coutts Foundation, Backstage Trust, Liverpool City Council, and Arts Council England Project Grant.
Advisories: The show is full of jokes, empowerment and feel-good moments but also explores challenging themes around ableism, homelessness, substance misuse, financial difficulties, and emotional trauma. Contains strong language and gig- level music. Resources will be available.
All performances have creative captioning, integrated sign language and integrated audio description. They can also offer familiarisation tours.
