“Not just a deeply moving play, but a rare, connected experience of homelessness between the audience and the actors onstage.“

It started with my forgotten umbrella and ended with one of the most authentic and unique theatre experiences.
Following the story of Cassie, a homeless girl lost and ruined, our emotions become escalated from watching this live performance of ‘An Orange in the Subway’ as we experience sitting on the ground on tarps and rain falling down for the ultimate homeless experience, immersing us with the incredible actors and witnessing their same struggles with them.

Owen Thomas’ writing will leave you wondering and in a rapt effect about how other people in this world are living, clinging to any hope and enthusiasm in what feels a dead-end life. The play will have you laughing the one second, and teary-eyed the other as we witness the harsh reality of being homeless.

Isolated and fearful, the main character of Cassie, played captivatingly by Mica Williams, is determined there is more to her life, someone or something out there looking out for her. And as we embark on her story, the incredible multi-rolling of both actors: François Pandolfo and Osian Lloyd, who has actual experience of being homeless, will expose the nerve wracking and heart-breaking encounters homeless people deal with every day.

In partnership with a Welsh homelessness charity The Wallich, Dan Jones’ perfect directing and the passionate acting brought to life the play and is giving homeless people the voice that is always subtly ignored when they plead on the side of the street.
