Play performed in 20 storey Tower block just weeks before demolished. In 2006 three iconic 20 storey tower blocks, on Leyton's Beaumont estate, are to be demolished as part of a borough regeneration scheme. Offstage are to create a site-specific theatrical installation, called
Home, within the vacated tower just weeks before it is pulled down. Spectators will be led around an empty flat by actors and will experience projections, soundscapes, monologues, and 'traditional' scenes. The piece is devised from video interviews and discussions held with former residents. The whole area is to be involved at every stage of the piece. For instance, a picture competition held at the The Beaumont School has supplied us with images of 'home' for our poster and flyer design, and to decorate the walls of our performance space.
