United Nations' (UN) International Day of Persons with Disabilities is annually held on December 3 to focus on issues that affect people with disabilities worldwide.
Inclusion Ireland and Down Syndrome Ireland will mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by hosting the Blue Teapot production of 'Sanctuary' at Dublin's Liberty Hall Theatre this evening at 8pm (no performance on Dec4th as previously advertised)
‘Sanctuary’, which was written by Christian O’Reilly, explores intimate relationships between people with intellectual disabilities.
The play highlights a little-known law which impacts on the lives of unmarried persons with an intellectual disability and seeks to prevent them from having healthy, intimate relationships.
Actors Charlene Kelly and Kieran Coppinger, both of whom have an intellectual disability, will play the lead roles.
In my role as spokesperson for Disability in the Seanad I regularly meet with local people and groups who have disabilities themselves or who work closely with people who have a disability. I will continue to advocate on their behalf in the Seanad and I am delighted to support Inclusion Ireland and Down Syndrome Ireland in this excellent and thought-provoking production by the Blue Teapot company.
