Ciaran is joined on this episode of 'In Lockdown With...' by playwright Kaite O'Reilly. Kaite is the foremost disabled playwright in the UK. Kaite studied theatre and English literature at the University of Sheffield, before starting out as a performer with Graeae Theatre Company. Then, she turned to playwriting. In 2002, Kaite's play 'Peeling' was produced by Graeae, and has since been revived by Taking Flight Theatre in 2019. One of Kaite's other plays 'In Water I'm Weightless' was part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad produced by National Theatre Wales. Here Ciaran talks to Kaite about her facinating career.
