The award-winning theatre company Cardboard Citizens has today announced casting for its season of new work at The Bunker in London this April. Celebrating 25 years of making work with and for homeless people, the company will continue its exploration of the state of housing in nine new plays commissioned by Cardboard Citizens from some of the UK’s most exciting playwrights. In addition to the plays, the company have today announced plans for a series of free events to run alongside the productions. The season runs 17 April to 13 May.
The full cast for the season includes: Richard Galloway; Jake Goode; David Hartley; Marian Haque; Caroline Loncq; Endy McKay; Andre Skeete; Mitesh Soni; Cathy Owen and Faye Wilson.
Home Truths will look back at the history of UK housing, from the Victorian housing crisis through to squatting in the 1970s, the ravages of Rachmanism in the 1950s and white flight in the 21st century. The nine plays will be split into three Cycles. Each Cycle can be seen as a stand-alone production, or alternatively audiences can take part in a theatrical sit in and watch all nine plays over the course of a day in one of two special Tri-Cycle performances.
