‘I dunno how you lot got Devin to be all hostin’ and shit cos some of us didn’t even know dis place was a ting.’
Overview
Entertainment blogger Devin hosts a housewarming at his new, luxury apartment. But when
the evening is derailed by the intrusion of some uninvited guests, he is forced to defend
himself from accusations suggesting that his newfound prosperity has made him too ‘boujie’.
Set in post-Brexit London, Hassan Govia’s debut play is a lively, character-driven comedy
that addresses the impact of professional and financial success on personal relationships,
delving into matters of loyalty, class, career pressures and monetary contentions.
Critic reviews
