Artistic Director's Notes
Thank you for joining us.
Homelessness is a distressing issue that concerns us
all. This piece of theatre is an attempt to help us
all to come to grips with it in some small way. And
maybe help to push the conversation forward.
It is my wish that we will all leave the theatre
with a new perspective on this situation, a new
understanding of someone else’s circumstances,
and a new appreciation for the complexities that
make this such a difficult issue to grapple with and
attempt to alleviate.
My boundless respect and gratitude to Joel
Bernbaum for the remarkable work he has done
on this project. His humanity and generosity has made it possible for everyone to feel safe
enough to share their most intimate stories.
Interviewer’s Notes
Citizens of Victoria spoke every word you hear in Home Is A Beautiful Word. These words
were spoken on the streets, in coffee shops, shelters, homes, cars, classrooms, jails, parks and
offices. Every interview began with the same two open-ended questions. Homelessness is…?
Home is…? The answers are as varied you could possibly imagine.
Verbatim theatre − making plays out of transcripts or interviews − gives us the opportunity
to be current, authentic and democratic. From the very beginning, it was my hope that this
project would present a holistic view of homelessness in Victoria. I am grateful to the hundreds of people who shared their stories, thoughts, ideas and feelings with me. These words
were faithfully transcribed, creating hundreds of pages of raw material. In editing the play,
I did my best to ensure the greatest diversity of material was reflected. Each interviewee was
also asked to pose questions about this issue to other citizens. I took many of these questions
and asked them forward, word for word. The result is a dialogue between people who may
not ever meet, except in front of you onstage.
Names have been changed to maintain confidentiality. Many of the interviewees told me that
they did not mind if their real name way used. No matter what their backgrounds, they are
proud of their words. I admire this, but I also appreciate that there is something universal
about all these voices having pseudonyms. Any of us, could be any of them.
Thank you to all who participated in this process. Even though every interview is not included in the final script − I am grateful for every conversation. Each one of you had an impact
on me, and on this play. Thank you to the Belfry Theatre for being a leader in this community. And thank you for being a part of Home Is A Beautiful Word. I hope you’ll stay for
Afterplay, and join the conversation.
Respectfully,
Joel
