Founded by Artistic Director and CEO Adrian Jackson MBE, Cardboard Citizens is an award-winning Theatre Company and one of the world’s leading practitioners of Forum Theatre. They have been making life-changing theatre with and for homeless people for over 25 years. Touring across theatres, hostels, day centres and prisons, they bring theatre to the most marginalised in society. Through bold and immersive work, Cardboard Citizens break down conventional divisions between audiences and performers.

The company runs a Membership programme for homeless, ex-homeless and at risk people, offering free workshops, information, advice and guidance, training and qualifications. Its Citz National Residencies reach vulnerable people across the country, exploring the barriers they are facing and identifying solutions, through fun, creative workshops and performances.

Past productions include the critically acclaimed Cathy; Bystanders at the Edinburgh Fringe; Home Truths at The Bunker; the Evening Standard Award-winning Mincemeat; Pericles and Timon Of Athens (with RSC); The Beggar’s Opera (with ENO); The Lower Depths and A Few Man Fridays.
