Stories of cerebral palsy told in Squeaky Wheel - a podcast by RNZ

From funny to heart breaking, the stories of people with cerebral palsy and those who advocate for them are told in a new verbatim play called Squeaky Wheel. Writer Kat Thomas, whose daughter Ella has the condition, has collected stories from a range of people which are told, word for word, in the play. Kat is a single mother and PhD student as well as fighting for Ella's rights and she hopes the work will helps others like her family feel not so isolated, and help the wider population to understand more about the condition. Squeaky Wheel premieres on the 10th of April at the Cerebral Palsy Society Office in Auckland then it heads to the Auckland Old Folks Association. Tickets can be purchased here.
