In this hard hitting one man show Mast Fraser draws on the story of Sealo the Sealboy, a freak show performer born with short arms and living in the USA from the 1930s to the 1970s. In researching Sealo’s life, what Mat saw was, culturally, his historical reflection.

The play ask the question, can a disabled performer ever be seen as anything other than a freak, irrespective of the liberal or post modern attitude’s of today’s sophisticated audiences? He then becomes his predecessor Sealo as the audience is forced to confront their collective connection with the freak show audiences of the past.

Containing feats of strength, drum and base, sexuality and class A drugs, Sealboy: Freak is a show that takes the spctator out of the comfort zone and into the terrordome…….
