The actors, who are all adults with learning disabilities were in Prague as part of the Fringe Festival and performed in Divadlo na Pradle.Side By Side has constantly pushed back boundaries and challenged the perception of learning disability by winning many awards over the years at open competitive festivals. It’s unique productions aim to give people with learning disabilities the opportunity to explore, through theatre and the performing arts, a means of self expression and communication.
