“Bullet doesn’t want to call a hostel home. Eritrean Girl was smuggled here in a lorry. Singing Boy dreams of seeing his name in lights and Garden Boy just wants to feel safe.
“Homelessness amongst young people in the UK is at a record high, so when the Big Society doesn’t work – where do you go?”
The final-year students of boomsatsuma’s Professional Acting Diploma present this play by Nadia Fall at the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft.
is needed now More than ever
Home brings to life the unheard voices of the young residents and staff who live and work behind the anonymous concrete walls of a high-rise hostel. Using real testimonials, the play asks what it really means to call somewhere home and provides a vivid picture of life in a homeless hostel.
The play is based on real interviews carried out by Nadia Fall in hostels in East London in 2012/13 with an aim to give a voice to the all-too-often silenced young people of the UK and beyond.
Feb 6-9, People’s Republic of Stokes Croft, 7.30pm.
