Overview
Best mates Lisa and Rachael are making a new show almost a decade after they created their first piece together.
Back then they had no idea where to start so they
went onto the streets and asked the public. What story should they tell?
What characters should they play? When they saw Lisa in a wheelchair
and Rachael not, what the public said was funny, jaw-dropping and
ultimately heartbreaking. They made a show about it. It was called No Idea.
Now people say the world has changed and things are
looking up. There are more disabled people in the mainstream media,
Lisa landed a big part on TV and disabled mates are getting regular
auditions – happy days. So what kind of exciting stories are the TV
professionals dreaming up for them?
Still No Idea is the whole story (so far):
the British public, the professional writers, the TV execs. Part
verbatim theatre, part improv, part comedy sketch show, this is a
raucous and mischievous exposé of good intentions gone bad and how
sometimes no matter how hard we try, we still have absolutely no idea.
