Ruth says " I
want to show how disabled people have survived and thrived through history.
I am interested in the dynamic tension between flaunting and hiding difference
as methods of claiming our place in sometimes hostile communities.
I want to make space to try new ways of making theatre and enjoy the way
that Agnes Jagger's Last Jig brings historical content and new technology
together."
Agnes Jagger's Last Jig will go on tour in the North West and Yorkshire regions in 2003. The play will show at venues along the route that Agnes takes across the Pennines as she travels between the warring cities of York and Lancaster.
