What is A Place For We about?

One building, four walls, five generations. A Place For We is all about a building in Brixton; a pub, a funeral parlour, a conscious eatery and an urban-zen enoteca. This building tells the story of London’s changing communities over three very different generations. In a time when everything is changing, Trinidadian funeral director Clarence and fifth-generation pub owner George are struggling to accept the tide of transformations. They risk their families, traditions and business by staying true to their roots or they must adapt in order to survive. This bittersweet comedy focuses on communities who are faced with an ever-changing London whilst they are pushed to search to the heart that holds them together.

He has had work produced in London at the Bush Theatre, Lyric Hammersmith, Orange Tree Theatre, Royal Court, and in New York at the New Light Theatre.
