A hit play which helped celebrate the 50th anniversary of Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre in 2023 has returned – to a rapturous reception.
Our companion hyperlocal site Rhiwbina Info was invited to review Housemates by Tim Green on Monday’s (24 February) press night and described it as “an energetic, moving, and often very funny play, which tells how a well-intentioned but ill-informed Cardiff University student in the early 1970s set about improving the lot of learning-disabled people confined to Ely Hospital”.
The reviewer Andy Weltch added: “With its engaging cast of neurodivergent and neurotypical performers including members of Hijinx Theatre, this is an uplifting show, which will not only convince you that we can change things for the better – it may also send you seeking out the hits of Slade and T.Rex. Which is no bad thing.”
Housemates runs at the Sherman until 8 March. It then moves to Aberystwyth Arts Centre 27-29 March and The Torch Theatre, Milford Haven 2-4 April.
