- Book Synopsis
- If you could press a button and one hundred thousand vulnerable citizens died instantly but the rest of the population of the planet was guaranteed prosperity, would you press that button? Chris never wanted to end up here. She's a proud woman and hates asking for help but when her condition deteriorated she had no choice but to claim disability benefits. Ralph believes in the new system. He knows it works. He knows it can work for Chris. He's here today, in her home, to assess her. To prove to her that there has been no mistake - she is fit and capable of working. Chris knows he is wrong. Knows her life will be over if his verdict stands. Can she persuade him to change his mind? And, if not, how far is she willing to go to save herself? Rob Drummond's Don't. Make. Tea. confronts the lengths disabled people must go to in order to preserve themselves in an unjust system. This edition was published to coincide with the Birds of Paradise Theatre Company UK tour, which opened in March 2024.
