The Streets of London

True street stories about love, drugs, and the battle to cling onto hope when you feel invisible.

Suitable for Age 16 +

Julie and her balloon are old friends, now living on the streets of London. A care leaver left without support some 20 years ago, Julie hangs on to her one remaining treasure, an old balloon. Now wearing it as a lucky charm around her neck, she makes a living selling painted balloons to passers-by, whilst sharing stories about her experiences of living outside the social 'system'.


This unflinching one-woman theatre piece combines humour and raw emotion to express the ups and downs of being an outsider, from begging and ambition to booze demons and first date failures.
