I was just reading needmorecoffee's rant about some selfish woman in the bus the other day. And I was just thinking about an amazing Christmas show I saw at the Lyric Hammersmith on Friday - Beauty and the Beast - starring Lisa Hammond,who is a small person, as Beauty. She is 29 and the pain in her joints is immense and she has to be in a wheelchair most of the time. She does the show partly in the wheelchair and partly not. She is a brilliant, brilliant professional actress, and an inspiration to all women, but I reckon if you do have a physically disabled dd, there could be no greater inspiration for her than seeing this fabulous Beauty. It's on till January. Some critics have got all squirmy about it, which I found terrifyingly medieval.
