Getting to know James MacDonald / Peter Thomson ; Director's notes / Martin Harvey ; Freaks, food and fairy tales : confronting the limits of disability in Bread and circus freaks / Thomas Fahy ; Epilogue / Su Elliott.;Their themes, contextualized here by companion essays, expand the boundaries of British drama and connect to the comic grotesque tradition by giving the 'abnormal' a broad appeal.
