In October 2011 over 100 disabled Glasgow Disability Alliance members wore purple rain ponchos to protect themselves from heavy rain and help identify each other in the crowd at a Rally to defend public services in Glasgow.

This experience inspired the formation of the Purple Poncho Players (PPPs) who are disabled people. They have worked together supported by Glasgow Disability Alliance and their Professional Creative Team to create a powerful Performance which shares experiences of disabled people in a fun, accessible and thought-provoking way.

The goal is to raise awareness, challenge assumptions and persuade decision makers and practitioners to improve policies and services that affect the lives of disabled people.

Join us on Wednesday afternoon for a memorable performance from the PPPs featuring poetry, sketches and music which will make you, laugh, cry and think differently about the true source of disability and ultimately which shows that people really do make change.
