Abstract	Commissioned for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, Kaite O'Reilly's play "In Water I'm Weightless" uses access aesthetics as well as content to interrogate the relationship between wholeness and disability. Featuring an entirely d/Deaf and disabled cast, the play provides a multitude of ways through which the performance can be accessed. Through its form and content, this paper argues, "In Water I'm Weightless" challenges the idea that a piece of theatre must be consumed and understood as a whole and breaks up hierarchies that dictate how a play is to be accessed and privilege the nondisabled body in the theatre. (As Provided).
