HOMELESS people in Glasgow are being given the chance to take to the stage thanks to an innovative theatre project.

Glasgow Simon Community has joined forces with Cardboard Citizens, the UK's only professional theatre company for the homeless, for a special performance at the RSAMD on Monday.

A play devised, written and acted by homeless people will take centre stage, while the audience will be encouraged to participate and take part in a discussion.

Margaret Anne Gachagan, from Glasgow Simon Community, said: "It is a unique way of giving housing information and tips."
