Glasshouse is a new forum theatre play by award-winning poet, lyricist and writer Kate Tempest, which is touring London’s homeless hostels, day centres, prisons & theatres this spring.

Glasshouse is a story about family and how hard it can be to keep loving. Three short stories take you into the minds of three members of the same family – people who’ve given up on their dreams. They fail to stay together and struggle to survive apart. Framed by Kate Tempest’s haunting poetry, the plays draws us into a dark and gritty London illuminated by moments of unexpected tenderness.

This is not theatre as you know it. Forum theatre invites the audience to stop the action in the second part of the evening and come on stage and rehearse alternative scenarios to lead to positive changes.

Cardboard Citizens has been making life-changing theatre with homeless and marginalised people for over 20 years. The company employs actors with experience of homelessness to perform plays inspired by the experiences of homeless people. Cardboard Citizens is one of the world’s leading practitioners of forum theatre.

Glasshouse is recommended for ages 16+.
