‘Got any change?” asks a man with a woolly hat and a can of beer. He appears on the side of the stage with the look of a genuine rough sleeper seeking succour from the cold outside. He waits for an answer and it is harder to look at our feet or tell him we haven’t anything to give him when he’s standing in this intimate space.
It is a compelling beginning and an apt moment to revive Tim Price’s drama of homelessness, given the approach of winter and its rise of fatalities among rough sleepers.
