The Big House Anthology is a remarkable celebration of the last decade of work and plays by a unique theatre company, showcasing five original plays that offer a unique perspective on diverse casts and contribute to the canon of theatre literature. Based in the UK, 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 mobilizing 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.
