Join Dora Colquhoun and guests as they discuss the ins and outs of ADHD and everything in between.
In 2021 Dora was diagnosed with ADHD and decided to write a musical about it. After a three year process of research, development, and soul searching the show went on to receive critical acclaim and a sold out UK tour. But writing such an emotionally charged and personal show wasn't easy and Dora's story is only one part of the puzzle. This podcast opens up the conversation in a way only Dora can - with thoughtfulness, care, and a LOT of humour.
On this episode Dora talks to Steffi Sweeney - creative director of RAWD (Random Acts of Wildness Disability) a Liverpool based company dedicated to helping disabled people grow through life and art.
