Aim: Every £15 donated pays for a ticket for a member of the homeless/ex-homeless community who may otherwise not be able to attend the show.
We are asking you to make a donation today so that those living on the margins of society can feel represented and see their stories reflected onstage, meet new people and benefit from the power of theatre.
As the homelessness crisis continues to soar into the new decade, Vicky Moran's new play uncovers the forgotten LGBTQ+ displaced youth finding solace in gay saunas.
Working together with a mix of young LGBTQ+ homeless and ex-homeless people in London, Vicky Moran has created a play that shines a light on a staggering 24% of the UK’s homeless youth.
Combining lived experiences from some of the production’s cast and creatives, verbatim interview clips and an original score, No Sweat gives voice to those underrepresented in theatre, and reveals the real stories of a portion of society at risk, finding temporary shelter despite a dearth of safe spaces.
Transforming London’s Pleasance Theatre into a steamy sauna, this in-your-face experience immerses the audience in a carefully constructed set where they meet Tristan; made to feel like a monster whose toothbrush had to be kept a safe distance from his family’s, Charlie; a Pakistani Asylum seeker, fighting to prove his sexuality to gain citizenship, and Alf; whose Mummy loves him but God doesn’t, so he was left with only one option...to run.
In a world where stability is a second from slipping through your fingers, austerity combined with prejudice sees young people putting themselves at risk all too often. No Sweat tells the truthful, dark and difficult story of three people navigating a new frontier of the homelessness epidemic.
