- Summary:
- Bullet doesn't want to call a hostel home. Eritrean Girl was smuggled here in a lorry. Singing Boy dreams of seeing his name in lights and Garden Boy just wants to feel safe. Homelessness amongst young people in the UK is at a record high, so when the big society doesn't work -- where do you go? An inner-city high-rise hostel, TargetEast, offers a roof. Nadia Fall's verbatim play used more than 30 hours of interviews to give a blistering insight into life inside a homeless hostel.
