Hamish, equipped with a new, self-operated wheelchair, heads for the woods.

Hamish, equipped with a new, self-operated wheelchair, heads for the woods to find sexual pleasure. But he hasn’t counted on such rough terrain.

It’s 1981. Hamish’s parents have been fundraising to buy him a new wheelchair. Crucially, it is a self-operated vehicle and a chance for independence. Pushed everywhere by carers before this, Hamish heads for the woods to find sexual pleasure. But he hasn’t counted on such rough terrain.

CripTales is a six-part series of fictional monologues, based on factual research and the lived experience of disabled people spanning British history since 1970. Funny, inventive, dramatic and sexy, each monologue places disabled voices, absent from TV drama for so long, at the centre of the stage.
