My Shrinking Life

T1948631529
As my disability progresses, the walls of my world close in As I struggle inelegantly on my crutches, toddlers, who have just discovered the wobbly freedom of their own two feet, whizz past me. People amble, stride, jog and just... walk. It is a gift they don't know they have, and one I never considered until I began to lose it.

Production details

Alison Peebles is one of Scotland's leading actors, directors and theatre/film makers. She was first 'unofficially' diagnosed with MS 12 years ago, after a series of falls as a creeping numbness spread throughout her body. Celebratory, irreverent and challenging, My Shrinking Life examines the emotional and physical journey that Alison has been on since that first diagnosis.
