Getting Away From Sidney

Uncle Sidney is the kindly old soul in charge of an institute for the disabled: he tucks them up at night and keeps them supplied with back numbers of the 'Reader's Digest'. But his crippled charges have had enough of him, and 'Side-show', the Graeae Theatre Company's highly successful play, tells the story of their escape. Arena marks the International Year of the Disabled with a profile of this extraordinary company of disabled actors.
