Robert Softley Gale of Birds of Paradise talks to Spotlight about disability and performance

Birds of Paradise’s Robert Softley Gale talked to Spotlight about his Edinburgh Fringe show (which is being transferred to London) My Left/Right Foot: The Musical. We also discussed disability and performance, challenges still faced by disabled actors, and how we can improve representation on stage and screen. Take a look:
