Sir Antony Sher, Robert Lindsay, Ian Richardson and Christopher Plummer are just a few of the consummate actors to have played one of the most prized roles in English drama, Shakespeare's deliciously evil Richard III.

The days of "cripping up" - a term disabled actors regularly use to describe those with no physical impairment playing disabled characters - appear numbered now, though, with Arthur Hughes taking on the coveted role.

Accessible Government Publishing

The Disability Royal Commission Final Report is over 7000 pages, all as PDF and Word downloads - formats that are difficult to consume online. Imagine if this document, and all other Government reports, were easily accessible in web format. Word and PDF pre-date the internet. Surely the time has come for Government to embrace new technology in making this information easily accessible. https://royalcommission.revealr.ai/app/
