About More Than One Story
For over 30 years, Cardboard Citizens has been created life-affirming theatre with people experiencing homelessness, poverty and inequity. More Than One Story, a co-production with Black Apron Entertainment and in partnership with The Big Issue, aims to disrupt stereotypes, generalisations and misconceptions around homelessness today, highlighting the rising number of unseen, unheard and overlooked individuals.
This is an exclusive opportunity to be among the first to view all nine of the films, written and performed by 18 extraordinary artists, each with their own lived experience of homelessness, poverty and inequity.
Following the screening there will be a Q&A where the audiences will hear from the creative team and have a chance to chat to Cardboard Citizens Members (our creative community of people with lived experience of homelessness and poverty) to sign up to find out more and get involved with our free programmes of creative activities.
Monologues written by: Sonali Bhattacharyya, Debbie Hannan, Charlie Josephine, Kayleigh Llewellyn, Errol McGlashan, Neetu Singh, Chris Sonnex, Naomi Westerman & Roy Williams.
Monologues performed by: Mansa Ahmed, Shahab Awad, David Olapoju, Michael Quartey, Noah Silverstone, Sonia Singh, Natasha Sparkes, Oriana White & Yvonne Wickham.
