An Orange in the Subway

‘Cardiff isn’t one city but different cities on different levels.

One for the devils and one for the angels’.

As the concrete streets sting with the cold, Cassie is convinced someone is watching over her. Do guardian angels really walk the streets of Cardiff? Perhaps they do. Perhaps it's all nonsense. Because who would possibly give a s*** about her?!

Performed on those very streets and by the people that inspired it, Owen Thomas' absurd and frenzied new play tackles profound questions from the knee-high perspective of Cardiff's rough sleepers. What does it mean to have a home? Is there any hope to be found here?

And.

Where did that orange come from?

In partnership with Welsh homelessness charity The Wallich, ‘An Orange in the Subway’ will be performed outdoors at Mackenzie Park, Cardiff. Featuring a cross-over cast and creative team of The Wallich service users and seasoned professionals, ‘The Other Room’ embraces its new nomadic normal with this latest production.
