Cathays, Cardiff. 1973.

The Housemates are back in 2025 by popular demand. Tim Green’s re-telling of a remarkable story which took place just metres from the Sherman’s doors captured the hearts of audiences and won huge praise from critics in 2023. It’s the story of the friends who started a revolution which marked the beginning of the end of institutionalized care with the creation of the UK’s first supported living home.

Performed by a cast of neurodivergent and neurotypical actor-musicians, including members of the Hijinx Academy, Housemates is a foot-tapping, heart-warming, eye-opening night out not to be missed with classic 70s hits played live.

The performances on 22 and 24 February are Pay What You Want Previews.

Housemates will tour to Aberystwyth Arts Centre and Torch Theatre, Milford Haven following its run at the Sherman.

Housemates performances allow for noise and movement in the auditorium, as well as re-entry for anyone who may need time away from the performance. There will be a chill out zone and ear defenders will be provided if wanted. House lights will be down during the performance and there will be loud music during the show.
