“The world wasn’t designed for us to succeed playboy, you gotta clock that we’re living in an uneven society.”
During summer holidays in South London, Corey dreams of nothing but hanging around with his friends while ordering as many Morleys as possible. Until Jodie comes along and makes him realise the changes which are happening within his beloved Lewisham Borough. Making Corey, for the first time, think about what path his future takes and question his friends.
A raw and nostalgic coming-of-age story about growing up in South London. Directed by Almeida Theatre Resident Director T.D Moyo, Corey Bovell’s fast-paced, witty play tells a story about gentrification and the impact it’s having on the lives of its youths.
Contains themes of violence, strong language, cooking fried chicken, flashing lights and moments of total darkness.
