Re:Home

Synopsis:
It's home isn't it? It's where it started. Ten years ago residents of the Beaumont Estate Towers in Leyton looked on as their homes were dismantled brick by brick. Re:Home sequels Cressida Brown's 2006 production, Home, made and performed before people were moved out of the towers. In 2016, Cressida revisits the Beaumont Estate to make a show about what our homes mean to us today. Using testimonies collected from former and current residents of the estate, Re:Home documents fraying relationships in the changing landscape of East London. Winner of the Kevin Spacey Foundation Artists of Choice - UK Theatre Award, Re:Home is a show brimming with urgency and compassion, giving a voice to a community that no longer exists.
