Imposter 22 - (Modern Plays) by Molly Davies (Paperback)

About the Book

A play developed over 5 years, a playful account of barrier navigation, the politics of neurodiversity and the power of sharing a platform.

Book Synopsis

We need to start at the start.
Yes, yes, we do or the Neurotypicals will be confused.

There was something off about the new guy. But now he's dead, and the sirens are fast approaching. Who to trust - what was it he told you that time on the pedalo?

Seven friends are in the frame for murder and the police are closing in. They must clear their name and in order to do so, they've enlisted the most unlikely of help. This funny, dark whodunnit will take you on an unexpected journey; with jokes, sex, songs, crimes, plot twists and a comeuppance.

Developed collaboratively over 5 years by Access All Areas' learning disabled and autistic Associate Artists: Kirsty Adams, Cian Binchy, Housni Hassan (DJ), Dayo Koleosho, Stephanie Newman, Lee Phillips and Charlene Salter alongside writer, Molly Davies and director, Hamish Pirie, Imposter 22 is a playful account of navigating barriers, neurodiversity and the power of sharing a platform.

This edition was published to coincide with the premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in September 2023.
