The Break

The Break, a collaboration between BBC Studios, BBC Writersroom, and BBC Three. The Break is bold short-form drama series reflecting modern life in the UK, created by up-and-coming talent. 

Each of the writers, directors, and actors for this year’s series have disabilities and their experiences are reflected in the stories in all their diversity and humour.

Rude - written by Annalisa Dinnella, directed by Aurora Fearnley, starring Niamh Longford

Would you rather be seen as rude or disabled? That’s the dilemma faced by 18-year-old May as she tries and fails not to offend her first Fresher’s Week friend.
