The playwright who experiences pain as sounds and pictures, Tourettes Hero Jess Thom on performing Beckett鈥檚 play Not I, the comedian with cerebral palsy whose slow speech is part of her act and the man whose poem OCD has 62 million YouTube hits.

The sounds and images in The Shape of the Pain represent how playwright Rachel Bagshaw experiences chronic pain so accurately, that watching her own show makes it worse.

Rosie Jones鈥� slow talking speed is a feature of her stand-up comedy routine. The funny woman with cerebral palsy offers her take on this month鈥檚 disability news.

Jess Thom鈥檚 relaxed performance of Beckett鈥檚 Not I has been adapted to work with her untypical brain and body. She can鈥檛 quite believe how much 鈥渁 non-disabled dead man鈥� has captured her experience of Tourettes syndrome.

Neil Hilborn is a performance poet with diagnoses of bipolar and obsessive compulsive disorder. His poem OCD has 62 million YouTube hits but he performs a new piece exclusively for us at the end of the show.

Presented by Kate Monaghan and Simon Minty from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Produced by Emma Tracey, the production assistant was Paul Johnston.
