WHEN DISABLED AND NON - DISABLED WORLDS COLLIDE, THE CONSEQUENCES CAN BE SERIOUS...OR SERIOUSLY FUNNY.

Peter and Rose are old uni mates. Actually, more than mates. 21 years later, their lives converge once again, and the area around Rose’s flat is teeming with police. There’s been a serious incident. Surely the poor, vulnerable, inspirational disabled people can’t be involved?

Chop, Dissolve, Burn is a black comedy that relentlessly pokes fun at society’s attitudes towards disability, whilst exposing the terrifying truth about the impacts of inequality on disabled people’s lives. It's also a love story – two former lovers separated by circumstance and a hasty note written on the back of a receipt are brought back together by a pandemic. After a year of shielding, how far will they go to be together again?

Be prepared for macabre humour, the absurd, a soaring soundtrack, a guide dog with a taste for flesh, and a ghostly granny.

Chop, Dissolve, Burn was initially created through a seed pot commission from Newcastle Fringe Festival in 2021, and has been developed for this co-production.
