This collaboration between Arcola Theatre and immersive theatre company Punchdrunk, worked with community performers to transform an empty Hackney shop into a Dickensian soup kitchen.  The resulting project toured to Cape Town, Karachi, Melbourne and Singapore.

“With a large team of Hackney-based performers from all walks of life, directors Owen Calvert-Lyons, Peter Higgin and Jen Thomas have created a deep and thrilling devised world, which each audience member will merely scratch the surface of in their short visit.” Exeunt Magazine
