The Break V

Five original short filmed monologues by up-and-coming disabled writers

The Break series 5
Growing up with Cerebral Palsy, I often let others speak for me simply because it was easier... Although I have written several short films, I am thrilled that the 91Èȱ¬ have given me a chance to share my work with a larger audience. And, now that I’ve found my voice, I plan to never shut up - so long as actors are willing to perform it of course.
— William Barrington, writer of Losing It

The five writers of Series 5 of The Break are: William Barrington, Angela Clarke, Annalisa Dinnella, Rob Kinsman and Lettie Precious.
