Summary |
Freddie Machin's play The Real Estate is multi-stranded drama revolving around a community living in a tower block in central London. Combining elements of social realism and satire, the play asks: who do our homes really belong to, and who gets to tell our stories? It was first performed at the Avondale Theatre, Italia Conti Academy of Dramatic Arts, London, on 14 June 2017, and is published as part of the Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series featuring large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to older teenagers and young adults. The play's action takes place in and around a tower block in central London that has been bought by private developers. Their plan is to raise rents, forcing the current tenants out. But the residents won't give up their homes that easily. Recruiting the help of a film crew already shooting on the estate, they take on big business - and come face to face with their history in the process. The Italia Conti production was directed by Chris White and Kate Colgrave Pope, with all parts played by Italia Conti students. |
