Contains distressing scenes and reference regarding substance abuse
A deeply compelling, painfully stark and shameless story about three homeless women seeking out stability, security and a way to change their fate. This play is a genre-defying piece that has been made in collaboration with homeless people from London and beyond, and is inspired by the Ancient Greek Tragedy: The Women of Troy.
Cassie, Andi and Helen meet every Wednesday at the Delphi Leisure Centre for a quick 55p shower before heading back to the streets they call home. With nowhere in particular to go, they find ways to amuse themselves, attempt to recover from their trauma and ultimately find a sense of comfort with each other.
This work-in-progress production uses physical theatre, soundscapes, and raw dialogue to explore their relationships and the relationship between choice and circumstance for rough sleepers.
Please note, this play touches upon addiction, sexual violence and abuse and could be triggering to some audience members.

Press & Reviews
Praise for previous work-
(Wants to remain Anonymous): "I am an individual who was characterised in 'Corners'. I come from an acting background myself, and I believed the writing, production, and acting to be of a standard I have not ever witnessed before. I felt the issues I have faced were handled with sensitivity and truth, without falling into a space of pity. The play offered hope amongst a broken political and social system, finding humour even through the darkest of human experience. This piece of theatre serves not only as a fantastic viewing experience but also as a piece of social justice."
Praise for previous work-
James Ryan: "I think the demonstrations and interactions of the different stories through the play shows the diverse perspective of homelessness...as well as the powerful soliloquies"
