An idiosyncratic, personal and very human look at the housing crisis in the capital; a song and dance about the state of the nation and ‘generation rent’.
The Fringe First winning/Total Theatre award nominated show combines a highly entertaining blend of comedy, theatre, song, performance art and investigative journalism with dancing red cardboard post boxes, Letters to Windsor House is a fun show making important points about the nation’s housing crisis, the desperation and inequalities it creates and above all the utter unfairness of it all.
‘A painfully funny look at the housing crisis…. A kind of twenty-first-century Withnail & I’ ★★★★ Time Out - Top 10 London Theatre Shows of 2016
Sitting in their rented council flat in Windsor House, Hackney, staring at a growing pile of unopened letters to previous tenants, Sh!t Theatre’s Louise Mothersole and Rebecca Biscuit became curious about the history of the flat and its previous occupants.
‘Hilarious and heartbreaking’ ★★★★ Sunday Times
Their detective work revealed a legacy of dodgy landlords, a frightening case study of how compound interest on minor unpaid charges can become thousands of pounds of debt and a revelation about their own tenancy status that ultimately affected their friendship.
