University of Derby BA (Hons) Theatre Arts 2nd Year Students present

The Real Estate

by Freddie Machin

Fri 8 - Sat 9 May, 2026 Archive
This is a story for our times told with compassion and humour delivered by University of Derby second year Theatre Arts students.

Who do our homes really belong to, and who gets to tell our stories?

A tower block in central London is bought by private developers. Their plan is to raise rents, forcing the current tenants out.

But the residents won’t give up their homes that easily. Recruiting the help of a film crew already shooting on the estate, they take on big business – and come face to face with their history in the process.


Amateur production ‘by arrangement with Nick Hern Books’.
