Hannah needs help. She meets Lynn. Lynn works for the Department of Work and Pensions. An assessment takes place...and then something else.

This is an encounter between two women, an audience, and a riotous chorus of disabled voices. ‘We Ask These Questions of Everybody’ transforms a benefits interview into opera, and shares radical and surprising disabled perspectives on society and on ourselves. A 50 minute digital operatic experience sharing disabled people’s experiences under austerity in the UK, it is performed by an exceptional cross-genre, all-disabled ensemble.
