National Theatre Live: Home

Bullet doesn't want to call a hostel home. Eritrean Girl was smuggled here in a lorry. Singing Boy dreams of seeing his name in lights and Garden Boy just wants to feel safe. Homelessness amongst young people in the UK is at a record high, so when the big society doesn't work – where do you go? An inner-city high-rise hostel, TargetEast, offers a roof. Nadia Fall's verbatim play features performances from Michaela Coel, Antonia Thomas, and Kadiff Kirwan.
