TINTED Comes to Edinburgh Fringe Next Month

Undateable? Laura is funny, creative and sexy. She wishes she could move out of her parents' house occasionally. Being visually impaired is not a flaw, even if some people treat it as one. But when you're disabled, the lines of consent get a bit... tinted.

Originally written as a disabled response to #MeToo, Tinted examines bodily autonomy in the group society often leaves behind.
