Starry eyed and ruled by ambition, Dick Whittington dreams of a better life, venturing to the legendary streets of Stratford on a journey that proves to be out of this world…
Amidst the various showcases of new fashion collections by well known designers at this years recent London Fashion Week, there was only one individual that everybody was talking about, and that was Naomi Campbell. Speaking out about the elitism within the fashion industry, the successful model criticised the industry’s lack of diversity, citing that there was only a low percentage of black and asian models represented on the catwalk.

Theatre Royal Stratford East is calling for members of the public to take part in a bold and exciting international project that will see thirty new, one person shows performed in thirty homes across London. The project, which will be taking place in the UK for the first time, has been developed with Brazilian partner Festival Internacional de Cenas em Casa. Those hosting the work in their homes will see their own stories incorporated into the performance and will be able to invite their own audience. The performances will be performed simultaneously on Saturday 26 October and recorded live before being broadcast on Saturday 9 November, enabling audiences from around the world to see the work and be part of the conversation online. Applications from London residents wishing to take part in the project are being accepted until Friday 23 August at 6pm.
