THE FOOD BANK SHOW RETURNS!
A year after its smash-hit debut, The Food Bank Show comes home to the place where it all started @camdenpeoplestheatre
Right now, over three million people use food banks in this country. What the f**k has happened?
Join acclaimed theatre-maker Sam Rees for an evening of anarchic storytelling filled with rage, hope, and radical conversation. Based on over two years of in-depth research, The Food Bank Show is an electrifying exploration of a failing system, the people caught in its web, and those striving to change it.
This is your FINAL CHANCE to see Carmen Collective in action this year, so grab your tickets at the link in our bio!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to watch our work-in-progresses of GAMEPLAY last week, we’ve only just recovered! It was KNACKERING to do but LOVELY to see you all there! We can’t believe we sold out, wooooo
These WIPs were super useful for us to figure out what worked, what didn’t, and what the show actually is, so we’re scurrying back to the drawing board now to pat ourselves on the backs and lick our wounds, you’ll see us again!
