UNKNOWN AT SALFORD ARTS THEATRE

This coming Thursday and Friday 27th and 28th October at Salford Arts Theatre, Kemsing Walk will be a performance of a new and shocking play by award winning writer, Dougie Blaxland.

Unknown tells  the story of one young person's journey from an abusive childhood to a life of homelessness on the streets of Bath - one of the most affluent cities in the UK. 

Commissioned by The Big Issue, which offers homeless and vulnerably housed people across the UK a means by which to earn a legitimate income,  with the support of Arts Council England and The Big Lottery, Unknown has been written by Dougie Blaxland with the assistance of Chris Taylor of The Big Issue in Bath and six people based in the area who have recent experience of homelessness: Sammy Clark, Nathan Dempster, Ian Duff, Paul Jones, Lloyd Rusdale and Anthony Williams.  

“Intimate, extremely moving and wonderful performances” - The Guardian 

“Harrowing stories eloquently told - all the more shocking because we know them to be true” - Filmmaker Ken Loach
