An Orange in the Subway

at Mackenzie Park, Cardiff

Add to your event list

Performed on those very streets and by the people that inspired it, Owen Thomas' absurd and frenzied new play tackles profound questions from the knee-high perspective of Cardiff's rough sleepers. What does it mean to have a home? Is there any hope to be found here?
And.
Where did that orange come from?

In partnership with Welsh homelessness charity The Wallich, ‘An Orange in the Subway’ will be performed outdoors at Mackenzie Park, Cardiff. Featuring a cross-over cast and creative team of The Wallich service users and seasoned professionals, ‘The Other Room’ embraces its new nomadic normal with this latest production.

Content Warnings - There will be flashing lights and loud music during the performance, as well as strong language, simulated drug use and alcohol misuse.
We can provide more information about these content warnings and the wider themes of the play on request.

This production is made possible by the generous support of the The Wallich, Arts Council of Wales, National Lottery, Welsh Government, Garfield Weston, The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Bad Wolf TV Studios.
