More Than One Story is a series of nine monologue films exploring the multiple realities of homelessness. Sonali Bhattacharyya, Debbie Hannan, Charlie Josephine, Kayleigh Llewellyn, Errol McGlashan, Neetu Singh, Chris Sonnex, Naomi Westerman, and Roy Williams bring their diverse perspectives to pen monologues that challenge the stereotypes, generalisations and misconceptions around homelessness in the UK today.  

A co-production with Black Apron Entertainment and in partnership with the Big Issue, More Than One Story aims to shine a light on the diverse intersectional factors that cause and exacerbate homelessness.

A story about homelessness and overcrowded living. A room full of things, people, stories, and shame - the surviving room. “Our yards don’t have the nice room where you can sleep, the clean room where you can wash, and the living room where you can watch TV. Read a book, call your friend, talk to your family, do your homework.
