It Hasn’t Happened Yet!
"You can't just wheel
on the stage, tell us all you're a cripple and think
that's all there is to it. You actually have to be
funny."
It Hasn’t Happened
Yet! is the story of one disabled woman's journey
into the funny and peculiar world of comedy. Plunging
chair-first into territory where few dare to go, in
It Hasn’t Happened Yet!, Carr challenges
conventional perceptions about language, humour, success,
fame and even fish.
“Nothing is sacred with Liz Carr and Melbourne is
seldom graced with a talent like hers. Her play, which
tells the story of Alex tackling the mainstream as a crip
jokester, is a finely hewed piece where theatre and
stand-up are seamlessly interposed.”
- Art of Difference, Melbourne
2009

and directed by New York-based actor and director
