Cathy at the House of Lords



Cathy tour is now over, and it’s been quite an experience as we performed not only in theatres, but homeless hostels and many prisons too, including Wormwood Scrubs and Pentonville and the inmates there were amazing; wonderfully welcoming and keen to share their own life experiences with us.  The very last gig a few weeks ago I think reflects the diverse venues we have been touring to, as we were invited to perform the play at the House of Lords as part of an evening reception for the ‘Homes for Cathy’ charity.  Again the people there were moved by the play and we were made very welcome by the Lords and MP’s who had attended the event, and were later invited to ‘Strangers Bar’ for a few late drinks by the labour shadow housing minister, John Healey.  Can’t believe it’s all over; it was difficult to say goodbye to the cast and crew after so long, but a fantastic final outing for Cathy, and what a privilege to have been a part of it all.   Here’s some picture of the event – the cast and crew and John Healey too!
