Crippled Monkey | 00:00 UK time, Monday, 28 February 2005

Monkey reckons disabled people are about to become well popular. Apparently the Orchard Theatre in Dartford is being taken to court under the Disability Discrimination Act in June for refusing to give a free ticket to the carer of a disabled customer.

The Disability Rights Commission says offering a complimentary ticket to a carer is one way venues can make a "reasonable adjustment" under the law to someone who would otherwise be unable to go to a performance. Either that or offer a similar service themselves.

One can just imagine the queues of long-lost 'friends' offering assistance on free cinema trips, theatre visits, concerts.
