‘Retake Remake’
March - April 2021

Retake, Remake explores films that portray people with learning difficulties but are played by actors without learning difficulties.
The Lawnmowers Theatre Ensemble reclaim these films and make them their own.
The actors create a new story-led show that uses lip-sync in a fun and clever way mixing edited audio, live performance and film footage to create a conceptual conversation about representation, ability and ownership.
