Backstage in Biscuit Land

A highly anticipated work at this year's Melbourne Festival is Backstage in Biscuit Land, by British writer, activist and artist Jess Thom, who lives with Tourettes. Given that it can be difficult for her to see theatre (she says words like ‘biscuit’ 16,000 times a day), she has created a funny, poignant work that celebrates inclusion on and off the stage.
