Home Straight

'Home Straight' explores the stories and people of this frequently overlooked part of the city. Focusing on the same house over four different eras, it takes audiences on a promenade journey from the 1800s, when railway workers were busy constructing the brand new London to Brighton Railway, through the destruction of WW2, and the social transformation of the 1960s, up until the present day.

Written by Frank McCabe (founding associate, Two Bins, writer: Ten Men, The Lives of John Bindon), it is directed by Julian Kerridge (Erpingham Camp; New World Order; The Consultant) and further supported by production manager Gabriel Burden and designer Victoria Johnstone.

12 young people have been brought together to form Firecracker, a new youth theatre company and, guided and supported by Frank and Julian, have spent two months developing and rehearsing 'Home Straight'. They now present two performances at Brighton Racecourse.
