Big Night Out

Happy Dragons Theatre has been working with members of People First Abergavenny, a group for and led by adults with learning disabilities, to devise a script drawing on their lived experience of feeling ‘othered’ and socially isolated. We also celebrate the positive, people’s talents, dreams and all the things that make them unique and loved. 

​

Happy Dragons has joined with a team of experienced filmmakers to collaborate on this project, which will be filmed in Abergavenny in April and May 2026 (details of the main crew can be found at the end of this document). Thirty members of the disabled community make up the cast. They have devised many of the scenes which feature in the film, and their words form the basis of the script. ‘Big Night Out’ is a celebration of the group’s creativity and generosity in sharing their personal experiences.
