Theatre plays have the particularity of having an immediate contact with the audience and seeing their reaction. In this play, I imagine, the image of these indigents can shake visually. I remember that once, in high school, I played a princess in a play, but I wanted to be the witch, I thought it was more interesting. You as a director know that there are some roles that are richer expressively. Seeing it that way, maybe it's not so bad to do the homeless interpretation. ;) ;) Good Saturday and a hug, @velimir.
