Whoever would have thought that two vastly different theatre companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) and homeless people’s theatre organisation, Cardboard Citizens, would work on a production together? It may sound like an unlikely partnership, but the result of this collaboration will come to light next week when a play, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Pericles, opens at The Warehouse, in Southwark, London.
RSC’s Director of Education, Clare Venables, explains that the idea for the two companies to work together was suggested by Arts Council England (ACE) about two years ago.
