Come and spend a whole week with No Labels (fictional) Drama Group and learn that there is no such thing as challenging behaviour, only creative behaviour. Meet the cast and share in their journey, as they dispense with the Learning Disability label and teach us through drama and comedy that labels are for tins not for people. These stories are poignant, funny and based on real experience. An insight into the world of marginalised people and a tribute to their strength and humour.
This omnibus edition includes all five of the daily dramatic episodes previously e-published as No Labels Monday to Friday: Are you sitting comfortably? The play’s the thing, Politics is rubbish, Fairy cakes or cup cakes? and The Recycled Musical, with the addition of another episode ‘Something For the Weekend’ published here for the first time.
What readers have said about No Labels:
This is perhaps the most useful understanding of learning difficulty (which also includes dementia) that I have ever come across. Julia Jones
It's a great read - funny, entertaining, but also thought-provoking in the best sense of the word. With each wee adventure, it gently challenges your perceptions of people, labels, and the values on which our society SEEMS TO run. I've just finished reading it and the characters are all still vivid for me. I know they'll stay that way for a long time, too. Bill Kirton
