Overview
This anthology is testimony, resistance, a nationwide act of creative truth-telling. This is More Than One Story.
For over thirty years, Cardboard Citizens has harnessed the power of theatre and storytelling to change the narrative of homelessness and poverty for individuals and society. More Than One Story is the company’s first-ever anthology: a groundbreaking collection of new writing by thirty-seven emerging and established writers from across the UK with lived experience of homelessness, poverty, and inequity.
From sofa-surfing and street-sleeping to the rental industry, citizenship, identity, and mental health, these monologues shift between imagined futures and urgent realities, encompassing resilience, hope, rage and humour, to offer a multifaceted portrait of homelessness and poverty in the UK today.
More Than One Story features original pieces from Sonali Bhattacharyya, Malorie Blackman, Chris Bush, Kayleigh Llewellyn, Michelle De Swarte, Inua Ellams, Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini, Debbie Hannan, Charlie Josephine, Errol McGlashan, Neetu Singh, Chris Sonnex, Joelle Taylor, Naomi Westerman, Roy Williams, alongside twenty-two new works from a national open call–and a foreword by BAFTA Award-winning actor Michael Sheen.
