Seven twenty-somethings. One flat. One landlord. One problem.

When an eviction notice lands on their doorstep, a close-knit Cape Town house share begins to unravel. The lease allows six occupants—but seven people call the flat home. Suddenly every friendship, romance and alliance is up for negotiation.

A painfully relatable comedy-drama about friendship, belonging and surviving your twenties in modern-day Cape Town.

This dramedy incorporates moments of stylised movement, subtly blurring the lines between theatre and dance.
