About the show

Bullet doesn't want to call a hostel home. Eritrean Girl was smuggled here in a lorry. Singing Boy dreams of seeing his name in lights and Garden Boy just wants to feel safe.

In 2013, homelessness amongst young people in the UK is at a record high, so when the big society doesn't work ― where do you go? An inner city high rise hostel, Target East, offers a roof.

This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.

Lucy trained as a theatre director on the MFA Theatre Directing course at Birkbeck, before subsequently moving to Manchester to take up the role of Resident Assistant Director at the Royal Exchange. There, she worked with leading British theatre directors and writers, including Atri Banerjee, Bryony Shanahan, Elizabeth Freestone, Tanika Gupta, Simon Stephens, and Jeanie O'Hare. She was invited to train with the National Theatre Studio and Katie Mitchell as part of the NT director's invite-only course. Lucy has directed for the Park Theatre, Oxford Playhouse, Pleasance, Southwark Playhouse, Royal Exchange Studio, and the Ustinov in Bath.

For drama schools, Lucy was the Associate Dean and MA Course Leader for ALRA. She has directed final year shows at LAMDA, Manchester School of Theatre, ALRA, Rose Bruford and University for the Creative Arts, and assisted Ed Kemp on shows at RADA. She has taught at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, Mountview, Fourth Monkey, Italia Conti, and East 15. 

Lucy managed and led on the National Youth Theatre's Stepping Up programme, a targeted-inclusion programme for participants with neurodivergence. Lucy recently published her article on neurodiversity and actor training in 'Theatre, Dance and Performance Training' published by Taylor and Francis. This continues to be Lucy's area of research and specialism whilst continuing her practice at LAMDA.
