People Show 142: WE ARE HERE

A Bush Theatre Community Production by People Show & Neighbourhood Company

A kaleidoscope of stories about our city. This is us and we are here.

Dive headfirst into this portrait of our city, told through snatches of overheard conversations and snapshots of city dwellers’ lives. It’s those countless little moments that shape who we are, and why we are here.

Funny, sentimental and a little absurd – WE ARE HERE weaves together a powerful collection of stories from the imaginations and real lives of our Neighbourhood Company through spoken word, performance and song.

Bush Theatre’s Neighbourhood Company are a group of 20 local people who have been working with theatre company People Show to devise a thoughtful, dynamic and inviting production, to which everyone is welcome.
