The Show
High Times and Dirty Monsters is a brand-new piece of gig theatre from 20 Stories High and Graeae exploring the good times, heartbreaks, and systemic oppressions of Deaf, Disabled, and Neurodivergent young adults in the UK. The show will explore the lived experience of the artists on stage as well as the research from with young people and young adults we are working with across the UK.
