Theatres to create homelessness musical for Coventry 2021

Belgrade Theatre and Cardboard Citizens have partnered to create a new musical with people who have experienced homelessness as part of Coventry 2021.

'The Ruff Tuff Cream Puff Estate Agency' will be staged at Belgrade Theatre on July 23, offering audiences the opportunity to discuss the issues presented in the performance and suggest real-world actions to tackle homelessness.

Cardboard Citizens will take up residency in the theatre throughout June to develop the piece, and have been working with the Arts & Homelessness Network since March.

Artistic Director Adrian Jackson said "nowhere could be more fitting that the City of Culture" to present this work.
