The play Creeps written by David Freeman is set in the washroom of a sheltered workshop for cerebral palsy victims. Freeman, who was born with cerebral palsy, paints a portrait of a small group of disabled people struggling to find meaning in a society that places little value on their lives.
It is common for the victims to feel as if their disability defines them, as humanity does no different. Tom and Jim, members of the group, share opposing desires which forces contrast between both their distinctive (unique) personalities and deeds. Most ‘crippled’ individuals distance themselves of the world, however, there is immense hope for a possible future within only some of them.
