''Thalidomide!! A Musical'' is a British musical written and composed by Mat Fraser, who was born with phocomelia as a result of the drug thalidomide being taken during his mother's pregnancy. Fraser and Anna Winslet play all the roles in the show. The musical premiered at the (London) Battersea Arts Centre's Octoberfest in 2005 and has since played across Britain and at festivals in Cardiff and Versailles, France. The production tells the story of a love affair between Glyn, a thalidomide survivor (Fraser) and an able-bodied woman, Katie Crawford (Winslet), attracted by his phocomelia. Fraser calls the story a "cartoon version" of his own life. Winslet won the role in part because she did not shirk at an audition request to mimic Fraser himself.〔(Mat Fraser on why he felt compelled to write Thalidomide!!
