Usually, disabled people just want to do the right thing. But what if they didn’t? What if they were out to make as much money as possible from the guilt of nondisabled, anxious people (like you)?
In PR office RIZE, blind talent manager Tim has worked out how to monetise disability. Together with wannabe blind influencer Ross, and anxious HR manager Helen, he is determined to cash in on ‘Able Anxiety’. But their mission has unintended consequences, as it turns out that manipulating people’s desire to fit in is even easier than you think.

“With a meaningful and increasingly urgent message at its foundation, this show builds layer upon layer of social commentary, not just about disability and ableism but of social media culture, the corporate world, the dangers of virtue signalling and identity politics, and so much more.
