Overview
Settled... Until suddenly you're not...
Forced out of London by spiralling living costs, Cathy finds herself
in an unfamiliar town with no friends and no money; pushed to make
choices she doesn't want to make...
Candid, poignant and intimate, Ali Taylor's play Cathy
offers a timely reflection on the lives of those at the sharp end of
economic austerity, faced with impossible choices and an uncertain
future.
Inspired by Cathy Come Home, Ken Loach's pioneering television drama, Cathy
was first produced in 2016 by Cardboard Citizens, a theatre company
that makes work with and for homeless people, on a tour of the UK.
