MORE THAN ONE STORY- an anthology of monologues on homelessness and poverty (paperback book)
Behind every statistic is a story waiting to be told. These are the stories of people facing homelessness in the UK today. 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 ground-breaking collection of new writing by thirty-seven emerging and established writers from across the UK with lived experience of homelessness, poverty and inequity.
Contributors include Malorie Blackman, Inua Ellams, Chris Bush, Michelle de Swarte and Joelle Taylor, with a foreword by Michael Sheen.
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.
'A galvanising battle cry... refreshingly eclectic and unique in tone, style and form... More Than One Story is more than a vital piece of literature – it is potentially world-changing. Everyone needs to read this book and pass it on... A raw and rousing treatise in humanity and resilience – a triumph' West End Best Friend
