Cardboard Citizens became an independent entity in 1995 and now regularly tours acclaimed Forum Theatre productions written by playwrights including Kate Tempest ("Glasshouse"), Ali Taylor ("Cathy") and Sarah Woods ("Meta") across the UK to theatres, prisons, hostels and community venues. It has also mounted a number of critically acclaimed theatre productions in both site-specific locations and as collaborations with other larger organisations, including the Royal Shakespeare Company and English National Opera. These have included the Evening Standard Theatre Award-winning "Mincemeat", "A Few Man Fridays", "Pericles" and "Timon Of Athens" (both RSC). In 2016 the company staged a Community Ensemble theatrical staging of Ken Loach's "Cathy Come Home" to mark the film's 50th anniversary and the Theatre Company's 25th anniversary. This Event Theatre work fits with Cardboard Citizens’ broader mission of using theatre to ask questions of individual, society and nation, why are things the way they are and how could they be better.
