RAWD in collaboration with UGLY BUCKET

Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You

Dates Wednesday 9th July 7.30pm & Saturday 12th July 2pm
Tickets Click here to book via RAWD

A never-ending telethon. A revolution stuck on hold.

In collaboration with Ugly Bucket, members of RAWD have been exploring the history of disabled protest & questioning the future of activism. The result is Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You – a dynamic spectacle of clowning, sharp satire, music, and physical storytelling.

Rooted in the spirit of the Block Telethon protests but reimagined through abstract form and modern perspectives, this show moves between two surreal worlds: The glittering illusion of telethon and the unruly power of protest. At its centre is one character’s journey from polite obedience to unapologetic disruption – from receiver to caller.

In an ambitious cross-community project, RAWD’s resident companies at Unity Theatre & Theatre Porto come together for a powerful shared performance.

35 disabled performers. One stage. Inescapable truths and a call for change.

Access

Wheelchair spaces are available and we’ll always do our very best to accommodate other access needs. The more we know and understand in advance, the better support we’ll be able to put in place. We also offer Supported Visits where possible – whereby our Access & Pastoral Lead can offer additional input and information – this may include things such as visual guides, familiarisation tours, seat reservation etc; to make your visit to us as comfortable as possible.

For further details please email takepart@theatreporto.org
