“How do you know what is reality and what is not? Mind Full: new writing by Lewis Teckkam. This surreal, Brechtian and Beckett-esque play combines quirky humour with existential thoughtfulness. Conscience, Memory, Imagination and Intrusive Thoughts explore what it means to live in a body that needs help with everything. Except thinking. Entertaining, provocative and darkly funny, Mind Full examines society, disability, politics, and the arts. It questions our individual and collective responsibilities and hopes to inspire audiences to imagine real change. For the better.”
According to Tim: “Lewis is living with quadriplegic cerebral palsy and, in his own words, lives in a body that needs help with everything. Except thinking. It’s what inspired him to start this project 3 years ago, which has resulted in a short film and now this 60 minute two part play.”
Tim chatted to Lewis about this new work at the Fringe.
