Stage show features the true story of Down's actor

You Know My Mum is touring to Theatre Porto on June 2 and 3

- 

A POIGNANT stage show devised and performed by disabled and neurodivergent actors will see an inclusive theatre company perform in Ellesmere Port as part of its debut national tour.

The members of a weekly adult social care service star in an original, heartfelt comedy exploring grief from the perspective of a young woman with Down's Syndrome, touring to Theatre Porto on June 2 and 3.

You Know My Mum shares the true story of Alex, an actor with Down's Syndrome who plays herself in the lead role.

Alex immerses audiences in her wild imagination, with vivid sequences and profound realisations about the world around her as she deals with the death of her mother.

The disabled-led cast and crew at EGO Arts, which has championed inclusivity in the arts for almost 20 years, is touring eight locations including the Birmingham Rep and Theatre Royal Bath between now and the end of July.
