A funny and furious work of theatre that’s both rally cry and rebellion.
Simon and Cheryl were once at Special School together. And through a quirk of fate, they soon will be again.
When the pair travel back in time to their days as students, they are once more fighting the forces that showed them the real cost of being Special: the evil headmistress, the scary nurse and the compromised teachers and parents.
Featuring disabled performers and based on real life experiences of Special School in Australia, Specials is a comedic and confronting depiction of the different routes Special Ed takes children on – a world largely hidden from sight.
Following sold-out development showings in 2024, this is Specials in all its fully realised, main stage splendour.
