Preview: True Colours Festival 2018

It’s honestly rare to see disabled people in the arts scene. Every so often, along comes an incredible performer like theatre performer Ramesh Meyyappan, or a work that attempts to show that the disabled are capable too, such as Musical Theatre Limited’s My Love Is Blind, but to have an entire festival full of disabled arts? Unheard of! But if you think that there aren’t enough talented … Continue reading Preview: True Colours Festival 2018
