Michèle Taylor talks to Amy Trigg, actor, writer and comedian, as well as Olivier Awards Winner in 2024 for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical for ‘The Little Big Things’.

Amy talks about how representation of disabled people has improved greatly on the screen over the last few years – and that she is now auditioning for roles that are not specifically for disabled people, the only option available to her a few years ago.

Amy talks about her career to date, her writing as a passion of hers, and she gives us her thoughts on bringing more disabled people into ‘the room’ from the creation of productions to manage expectations of budgets to avoid unexpected costs for access.

Thank you Amy for such a brilliant and interesting conversation.

Thank you for listening. For further information and to get in touch with us please visit our website HERE.
