No Magic Pill

If you're a wheelchair-user you've got a simple choice: either you suck sweets in a corner and watch television all day or you try to change the world around you. There ain't gonna be no magic pill in my day.<br/><br/>This is the (mostly) true story of Martin Naughton AKA Michael Collins in a wheelchair. Martin is an agitator. A disruptor. A seeker of justice and planter of (truth) bombs. But will his anarchic quest for equality be derailed by dreams of love and new horizons?<br/><br/>Based on the real life of Martin Naughton and his campaign for independence for disabled people in Ireland <i>No Magic Pill</i> written by Christian O'Reilly is a joyful shameless no-holds-barred story of one<br/>man's fight for justice and love.<br/><br/>This edition was published to coincide with the production at Black Box Galway and the Civic Tallaght for Dublin Theatre Festival in October 2022.
