All in a Row Live is a play by Alex Oates about a family with an autistic 11-year-old. The play explores the experiences of the parents of a nonspeaking, sometimes physically aggressive, autistic boy and the emotions that they experience on the night before he is taken to a residential school for disabled children. The play starred Charlie Brooks, Simon Lipkin, Michael Fox, and Hugh Purves, and was produced by Paul Virides Productions at the Southwark Playhouse. An early draft of All in a Row was long-listed for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and the play was chosen as one of the Bolton Octagon Theatre's Top Five in 2017. It was published by Methuen Drama in 2019. The play has had a polarizing effect on critics and audiences for its use of a puppet to portray an autistic child. Source: Wikipedia (en)
