Series 1: 1. Audition



Mat sits in the waiting room before an audition, dreading how it will turn out. He relives some of his best and worst moments in auditions in the past, taking us back to his childhood, where he unlocks the reasons for his fears, before finding the way to triumph. Or does he? \n\nCripTales is a six-part series of fictional monologues, based on factual research and the lived experience of disabled people spanning British history since 1970. Funny, inventive, dramatic and sexy, each monologue places disabled voices, absent from TV drama for so long, at the centre of the stage.
