Cabinets of Curiosities: How disability was kept in a box

Tues 10 June: 7.30-10.00pm Join critically acclaimed actor and performance artist Mat Fraser for a journey through the history of disability – a history lesson with a difference. Mat Fraser’s intriguing and sometimes challenging live act uses museum objects and their histories through a blend of drama, comedy and cabaret, film and music hall pastiche, to prompt us to question and rethink our own, as well as society’s, attitudes towards difference. Performance lasts approximately 75 minutes with no interval. There will be a post-performance discussion. Book on 0161 275 2648 or museum@manchester.ac.uk, £5/£3
