What’s a chronic illness storyline you wish was shown more in the arts or on TV? The confident chronically ill teen who’s dating? The nurse who just happens to have a picc line and a chronic illness?

In this episode Noa chats with Ali Hardy, the co founder of Reckless Theatrics, a theatre collective made up of chronically ill artists with a mission of inclusion, intersectionality, and using art for social justice. Noa and Ali discuss Reckless Theatrics upcoming play “Fail Risk”, about a couple finding their way when one partner is sick, writing and portraying authentic chronically ill love stories, what it means to create an inclusive theatre space, and storylines they’d like to see more of in theatre and the media.

This episode wraps up season 1 of Spooning with Spoonies!!! Thank you so much for your support and for coming on this journey!

Quote: “I also want to see someone with a picc line. or a port, or a feeding tube or something like that, let's normalize it. Lets start showing this because there are people who really do have that stuff and are out running businesses and being parents and everything else. And I want to see those brought into the arts.” - Ali
