People seemed to know where they were going. I was the one still lost. But I'm learning. All the time I'm learning.
Inspired by one man's life, this powerful and true tale of overcoming adversity and of our universal need to belong paints a vivid picture of Battersea and sheds light on a generation of Londoners whose stories are in danger of being lost amid regeneration.
Discovered during our Battersea Stories inter-generational outreach project, The Air Around Us is a verbatim piece that demonstrates Lightbox Theatre's commitment to discovering untold stories in local communities.
"Through Cresswell's story, we get the bigger picture: regeneration, the consequences of gentrification, increasing individualism in society and how our lives are shaped by the places we live in. It's a beautiful piece of theatre and I wouldn't object to Lightbox Theatre running a similar project in my area" Everything Theatre
