Thespians with Down syndrome challenge expectations

A theatre company involving adults with a range of learning disabilities have been performing Shakespeare at the Globe theatre. Channel 4 News posted the video below showing how the theatre company is challenging stereotypes of people with disabilities.

"I think people out there in the world should see that people are capable of doing Shakespeare even with a learning disability...because we both have Down syndrome," Lawrie Morris told Channel 4 News.

Although this theatre company is located in Winchester, England, the concept has a global significance. Actors with disabilities are the largest minority in the world, but are the most underrepresented in the entertainment industry. A fact this theatre company, and many other actors, actresses, models, comedians, and other entertainers hope to change.
