� propos de l?auteur

Stephen Unwin is one of Britain's leading theatre and opera directors. He founded English Touring Theatre in 1993 and opened the Rose Theatre Kingston in 2008, which he ran until 2014. He is the author of ten books, including guides to Shakespeare, Brecht, Ibsen and twentieth-century drama for Faber, Nick Hern Books and Bloomsbury. In 2022, Reaktion Books published Poor Naked Wretches, an original and much praised study of Shakespeare's working people.

Stephen's second son Joey has severe learning disabilities and Stephen is a campaigner for the rights and opportunities of people like him. His stage plays include All Our Children (London, 2017; New York 2019) and Laughing Boy (London, 2024), both of which concern the historic abuse of disabled children and young people. He writes a regular column for Byline Times, mostly on disability, as well as a popular blog on his website.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. For much of history, people with learning disabilities have been regarded as unworthy of interest - often seen as a threat to the social order and sometimes dismissed as barely human. While recent years have seen an improvement, learning-disabled people are still treated as fundamentally different.Beautiful Lives is a personal and pragmatic account, told through the eyes of a father whose son has severe learning disabilities. From early civilisation to the chilling realities of twentieth-century eugenics, this powerful book uncovers a startling and rarely told history - one deeply embedded in the challenges still faced today. Unwin shapes this history into a powerful story of love, lived experience and the long struggle for a better future. A powerful examination of changing attitudes towards people with learning disabilities, and a community's fight for human rights and dignities.
