Theatre and disability is a subject focusing on the inclusion  of disability within a theatrical experience which enables a cultural and aesthetic diversity in the arts. Showing disabled bodies on stage can be to some extent understood as a political aesthetic as it challenges the predominately abled audience's expectations as well as traditional theatre conventions. However, the performance of disability on stage has raised polarising debates about whether the performers are exposed and reduced to their disability or whether they have full agency of who and what they represent.
