HELLO, OUT THERE
by William Saroyan, directed by playinthepark company associate Hello, Out There by William Saroyan is a short, emotionally charged one-act play set in a small-town jail during the Great Depression. It follows a young drifter accused of a crime he didn’t commit, who finds a fleeting but profound connection with a lonely woman working as a cook nearby.
As the two share their dreams of escape and dignity, the play explores themes of isolation, injustice, and the fragile hope of human connection. Despite its brevity, Hello, Out There delivers a poignant look at loneliness and the desperate need to be heard.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
