The Big House Anthology is a celebration of the last decade of work and plays by a unique theatre company, featuring five original plays that offer a chance for stories with diverse casts to contribute to the canon of theatre's literature. As a UK-based theatre company, The Big House empowers care leavers and other disadvantaged young people through performance and long-term support. Their plays are born from the hearts and minds of the young people they engage, with this anthology offering five very different plays: a runner struck down by MS; a rapper who spits and snarls and tries to find it in herself to forgive; a teenager who fights for wealth, status and respect in the underworld of county lines; a cackling cowboy they call Corona; and a dog that has been tracked, murdered and stuck in a stew. This anthology celebrates the explosive creativity that comes from mobilising and platforming diverse voices, and its importance in generating social change. Framed and introduced by directors and writers discussing their practice, along with an introduction by Jez Butterworth, this is a book for students, educators, artists, theatre-practitioners, social workers and storytellers to tell stories that are rarely told, let alone with such fierce authenticity.
The Big House works with care leavers and those who are at a high risk of social exclusion, providing a platform for them to participate in the making of theatre and to have their voices heard. Through the use of performance and long-term wraparound support, The Big House unleashes their members' creative potential, builds their aspirations and supports them into the next stage of their life. The Big House collaborates with exciting freelance theatre professionals to put on award-winning and critically acclaimed productions. The Big House works tirelessly to improve access to the creative industry for underrepresented groups, and has launched some thriving careers in theatre, film and TV.
