A particularly gutting one this, as Francesca Martinez’s debut play All of Us would have marked a key moment for disabled voices at the National Theatre. À tout à l’heure…
Just look at them:
We were due to start my play ‘All Of Us’ at the @NationalTheatre tonight but… We will be back!
Thanks so much to the amazing cast & crew who have made the last 8 weeks a complete joy.
We did a Dress Rehearsal last night and it was AWESOME.
Can’t wait to share it.

And just listen to her:
“Time to concentrate on what we share, not what divides us.”
