On Top of the World: CAN YOU HEAR US FROM UP HERE?

“We are more than faces at windows held high” How often do we hear the voices of the residents of Tower Blocks? In a collaboration between The Royal Exchange Theatre and One Manchester housing association the residents of four high-rise blocks in Manchester created ‘Can you Hear Me From Up Here?’. Produced by Tracie Daly the performance explores the lived experience of Tenants and attitudes towards people who live in social housing, prejudices and stigma, isolation, and the hopes and aspirations of those housed there. The residents performed a sequence from their play. Join in the conversation online using #BeingtheStory
