In December 2019 we brought a new, original piece of verbatim theatre to the White Bear.
Stray explored the plight of London’s homeless community and offered a unique insight into a world that surrounds us; one we constantly encounter but may rarely engage with. Every word spoken on stage was taken directly from interviews with homeless people and the general public around them.
This production was kindly supported by ALRA and received a generous grant from the R C Sherriff Trust.
We were delighted to support Hoodies for the Homeless, who also raise money for Crisis. For every hoodie sold, one is donated to the Crisis at Christmas appeal. An example of one of their hoodies was worn by one of our actors on stage.

The profits generated from this production were donated to Crisis, the national charity for homeless people, to help fund their Christmas campaign.
