A reading of a new play by Traverse Breakthrough Writer Eliza Gearty.

Ardi and Cate live in a one-room flat they can't afford above a pub. Meanwhile their landlord, Racken, watches them via CCTV. He sends constant reminders via text about the washing up and outstanding rent. Ardi, a Bulgarian teaching assistant, is full of hope; Cate, a 21 year old Londoner, is already hardened. Her dreams have been dashed by the exhaustion of zero-hour contracts, agencies that promise no workers’ rights, and rent that seems to never stop rising.

Based on a true story.
