The Lodger at Cube Microplex This September

New show raises the issue of ‘hidden homelessness’

Dora Colquhoun brings a brand new piece of theatre exploring hidden homelessness to Bristol as part of a UK tour.

Through music, storytelling, comedy and physical theatre, The Lodger introduces us to a variety of characters all trying to find their way home.

“The Lodger is a creative call to express a feeling I have carried with me since I can remember,” Dora says. A feeling that I have found hard to describe with words. This feeling is a sense of loneliness and disconnect that comes when the physical home has been ‘disrupted’.

“From the moment of ‘disruption’ I have felt a need to understand and rebuild ‘home’. Various attempts have been made through relationships, travel and staying in a physical place. I know this show will speak to many people who have also experienced ‘disruption’ whatever that may be.”

Dora’s previous show ADHD: The Musical, was a sell-out success in venues around the country.

New show The Lodger, is described as sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic but definitely thought provoking.

The Lodger will be at the Cube Microplex on Sunday 22 September 2024
