We know you want to look, to stare even. It's okay. You're allowed. An outstanding solo performance based on a collection of funny, sad, touching and surprising stories about disabled people and their bodies. Created and performed by actor Robert Softley (co-creator of National Theatre of Scotland's Girl X), this show was a sell-out hit at the Arches' Behaviour festival in 2012. 'Fine, fierce and inspirational' **** (Herald). 'A strong, sexy sense of the sheer value and beauty of life... [making] us see our own, with completely fresh eyes' **** (Scotsman). www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com

WOW247, 26th August 2013If these spasms could speak: Robert Softley
Among the array of strongly political - even angry - theatre present at the Fringe this year, Robert Softley brings a slightly more humane piece to the stage.
