If you’re a wheelchairuser, you’ve got a simple choice
Either you suck sweets in a corner and watch television all day or you try to change the world around you
There ain’t gonna be no magic pill in my day
This is the (mostly) true story of Martin Naughton, AKA Michael Collins, in a wheelchair

A seeker of justice and planter of (truth) bombs
But will his anarchic quest for equality be derailed by dreams of love and new horizons?
Based on the real life of Martin Naughton and his campaign for independence for disabled people in Ireland, No Magic Pill, written by Christian O’Reilly, is a joyful, shameless, no-holds-barred story of one man’s fight for justice and love
