What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘A groundbreaking collection of monologues… peppered with wit and humour [but] there’s a bubbling underlying anger… profound and resonant… hard-hitting… full of personality, sass, and depth… intelligent windows into a reality we’re trained to look away from… rich and powerful… an urgent call to action’

* Broadway World *

‘Resilience, anger, hope, pain and sprinkles of humour throughout… the stories [in this anthology] range from sofa-surfing, council housing applications, disability support, public perceptions of homelessness and more. From Malorie Blackman’s ‘Ladies Who Lunch’, which brutally interrogates public perceptions and discomfort around begging, to Jordan Grant’s ‘Man. Up’, which hauntingly explores dispossession and the greediness of investors, More Than One Story is an enlightening read for anyone who does not share these experiences… urgent and special… reinforces why more should be done to make art accessible for all’

* Theatre & Tonic *

‘A galvanising battle cry… refreshingly eclectic and unique in tone, style and form… More Than One Story is more than a vital piece of literature – it is potentially world-changing. Everyone needs to read this book and pass it on… A raw and rousing treatise in humanity and resilience – a triumph’

* West End Best Friend *

‘These stories contribute to shaping our understanding of the issue and the change we need’

* British Theatre Guide *
