About the Show

London's landscape, culture and community is shifting and the residents must adapt or hold fast.

Archie Maddocks' play explores ideas of identity and culture in the face of unrelenting change. Following three family-run businesses and their occupants as London moves ever onwards, this is a comedy with heart and a complexity of themes. The play was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award and the Bruntwood Prize in 2017.

See it if To see how over the generations change is inevitable yet we must hold to tradition to honour our past. Lovely seeing old brixton referenced

Don't see it if If you don’t like shows that are culturally diverse

Critic Reviews (4)

This ambitious comedy-drama about gentrification, tradition, and identity shows ... Archie Maddocks is a writer of real promise. If it’s at least half an hour too long, though, there is plenty to get your teeth into.

[Its] large cast of characters ... [disappointingly] doesn’t ... explore how [agencies] have colluded to transform the social character of neighbourhoods like Brixton. But it succeeds as an elegy for things lost.

Full of subtlety and naturalism, Maddocks’ script ... is a gift to its actors. 'A Place for We' is a moving portrait of the ever-evolving face of London.

Maddocks succeeds ... by weaving ... social consequences into the plot at every turn. A Place For We is ... less about solely damning gentrification and more concerned with conveying that change is an irrevocable part of life.
