We’re putting on a play about the mythical autistic woman to reveal just what being human is all about
“The Duck can be viewed as an encouraging, accurate and ultimately human interpretation of feminine spectrum-hood.
“Poetic and political, the play pushed past binary stereotypes and ‘othering’. I stood to applaud.”
Emma Robdale Disability Arts Online
“Lloyd-Williams’s brilliance is that she enables the non-autistic person to inhabit her mind, to loan it for a brief yet vivid moment. This is not the usual autism shtick so many autistic people have come to dread, this is something wholly new”
Sonia Boué Museum for Object Research
“So funny, so moving and so heart-warming”
Sue Smee, Ruskin Mill
“Fast-paced, frenetic, funny, intelligent, occasionally sad, incredibly engaging and informative performance. This is the sort of autistic performance that I want to see, and that I want non-autistics to see”
Paula Sanchez Autism Advocate
“Lucy’s energetic acting and Rhi’s masterful writing combine wonderfully so whether you yourself have autism, you have family members with autism or you know nothing about it, this is well worth a watch for a fun and informative experience”
Seraphina Allard-Bridge Barnstaple TheatreFest
Written by and developed with the advice of Rhi Lloyd-Williams, Autistic Writer and Autism Advocate
The Duck is available for bookings for Theatres, Conferences and as a part of Autism Training days or for educational purposes. We can provide post-show training for organisations, using the play as an introduction to some of the obstacles autistic adults may face.
