Rise – A Young Company Production
Written by Zia Ahmed and devised with the 16 – 18 Young Company
Directed by Jo Tyabji
Twenty young people have worked through weekly sessions to create a piece which speaks to issues that are important to the group and the communities in which they live such as protest, insecure housing, gentrification and privilege.
“The RISE in rent will be 25%”
The Locals see their area that they love and cherish for being raw, diverse and unique being changed right before their eyes!
Is the oppressive spirit of Landlord omnipotent or will The Locals prevail?
