Cathy Come Home (2016) - social media and Forum theatre

Forum Theatre is a mode of performance that empowers the audience to change the outcome of on-stage action and have their say on subjects explored within the show. This makes every performance a completely unique experience.

In Cathy Come Home, UK theatre company Cardboard Citizens brought Forum Theatre to the livestream experience. To encourage audience participation online, the company set up instant feedback via twitter, facilitating and collating comments to incorporate into the performance and the Q&A sessions.
