Creative Access consultant / Glass R&D

Glass, written by Jacob Kay and directed by Andy Routledge had a two stage R&D process in 2024. This developed the play in a number of areas including writing, access, and technical design including video and sound.

Glass’s R&D process embedded Access from the very beginning - developing access into the text itself, as well as integrating access into the creative process.

Glass’s R&D explored creative captioning, integrated audio description, and discussed the neurodivergent perspective of the story and how that impacts every part of the creative process.

Glass: In a shattered world where water has become scarce, three people prepare for the imminent arrival of a fourth. As pressure mounts from others in their rural community, along with the strange allure of the nearby glass lake, minds unravel and morality is chipped away, uncovering a stark question they all must face: what will you do to survive?
