Ben has a lot to navigate – uni, his parents, his sometimes girlfriend, and a secret or two. Everyone has always told him how he should live his life, what role he should play and how he should do it. It’s not as if he’s afraid to indulge in a bit of exposure.
BOP returns in 2026 with an exclusive run of performances at Tramway. (We indulge in) a bit of roll play is an all-encompassing eruption of a production bringing together a collective of disabled artists, writers and performers.
Showcasing a fearless look at sex, disability and empowerment, (We indulge in) a bit of roll play starts as a sharp domestic comedy and evolves into a poignant and eye-opening theatrical piece which platforms authentic experiences.
