About the Company
‘FlawBored aren’t just breaking the mould; they are smashing it to smithereens’ Lyn Gardner
FlawBored is a multi award winning disability-led theatre company, co-founded by Samuel Brewer, Aarian Mehrabani and Chloe Palmer. They create meta-theatrical work with dark irreverence which aims to address complex and uncomfortable issues surrounding identity which no one has the answers to.
FlawBored shows all feature integrated, creative access throughout and seek to create an environment where all audiences, regardless of impairments and disabilities are able to access the same show.
A FlawBored show is cheeky, chaotic and most importantly is not disability ‘trauma-porn’ or ‘pity-porn’.
