Renting in London can be tough…

In the heart of London's bustling urban landscape, where the housing market is a battleground and affordable accommodation feels like an elusive dream, our protagonists find themselves thrust into the chaotic world of the city's housing crises. Set against the backdrop of a popular East London neighborhood, their quest for a place to call home transforms into a nightmarish journey through the absurdities of modern-day living.

As three young professionals vie for their piece of the pie in a cutthroat rental market, they quickly realize that desperate times call for desperate measures. With soaring rents and limited options, they're willing to endure the most absurd and outlandish circumstances in their pursuit of affordable housing. From bizarre housemates to cramped living quarters, their journey becomes a hilarious yet harrowing exploration of the lengths people will go to in order to secure a roof over their heads.

The play exposes the absurdities of urban living in a global metropolis. It lays bare the desperation of renters struggling to navigate a housing market that seems designed to exploit and manipulate. From dodgy landlords to exorbitant fees, the characters grapple with the harsh realities of city living, shedding light on the precariousness of housing insecurity in a fast-paced and trendy cityscape.
