You are invited to take part in an intimate performance with disabled performer, Robert Softley-Gale. A conversation, a nightly routine, a shared experience – bedroom to bedroom.
Brought to you by Birds of Paradise Theatre Company, this is an invitation to share in moments that are new and real – to exchange with people who might not look or move as you do.
Created by Robert Softley Gale, Rachel Drazek and Mairi Taylor, Come to Bed with Me takes Birds of Paradise into digital and durational territory that is new for the company.
“Come get ready for bed with me. From your bedroom to mine – sharing our intimate spaces and personal moments. We might talk about what’s there and what’s not there – what’s missing. Listen, watch, talk, move with me… it’s up to you.”
