FREAKS, GEEKS (and other human beings)
Come and meet Gareth Honey. Twenty-two with perfect pitch - and a total Star Trek nut.
THE ORIGINAL SERIES ONLY THOUGH! (Don’t mention Star Wars. Star Wars sucks!) Twenty-two with perfect pitch - and autism - who has, out of nowhere, after six years of seclusion, entered and got himself through to the final of an X Factor style show.
Except we don’t - get to meet him, that is. We do get to meet Sarah Honey - long-time vlogger on life as mum and stand in Captain Kirk to her son – who will take us on a voyage of discovery through diagnosis, to schools – and to life beyond (with a few detours on the way!) FREAKS is a one woman show featuring the multi-talented Carly Barnes as Sarah (and 'Cheryl’ and ‘Simon’ and a few others too!) It’s got pop classic quotes a plenty plus laughs – both quirky and dark – and a somewhat different take on the idea of neuro-diversity.
Still wondering how Gareth get on in the final? And how he got to the final? You’ll have to come and meet Sarah Honey to find out.
