The acclaimed rock’n’roll re-telling of a remarkable Cardiff story goes on tour.
In the 1970s, just a few metres from the Sherman’s doors, a revolution started. It was a revolution that rocked the world. It began when Alan, a young man born with Down’s syndrome, crashed into the life of Cardiff University student Jim. Alan had lived as a resident in Ely Hospital since childhood. All Alan wanted was to live in a house and be in a band. Jim wanted to make a difference in the world, but didn’t know how. Together with their friends, they embarked on an experiment that transformed how things were done, how people were treated and who got to tell you how to live. This was the beginning of the end of institutionalised care and the birth of Supported Living.
Wonderfully warm, funny and deeply moving, Housemates by Tim Green brings this remarkable true Cardiff story to life on stage. Performed by a cast of neurodivergent and neurotypical actor-musicians, Housemates packs a punch and touches the heart. Join the Housemates this spring for a great night out.
Housemates will tour to Aberystwyth Arts Centre and Torch Theatre, Milford Haven.
