Roderick Ford was the recipient of Project Art’s 2019 Realize award, a prize designed to support the production and presentation of ambitious new work by theatre and dance artists with disabilities. With the 40,000 grant, he’s created The Spider’s House, a gothic tale set in a warped city space that reflects our own.
Billed as a nightmare from a disordered mind, the play follows a romance between Paulsa and Issy, who are trying to escape the city limits. With this his new work, Ford asks what relationships are permissible and who should be denied love. The play runs from the 27th of February to March 7th, at 2:45pm and 7:45pm each day.
