"What's this? Young people move in because it's cheap. Ooh. Artists move in. As do start up companies. Hello. I get involved. Regeneration happens. Buildings get built. A park or two. Facilities improve. Services get better. Area makes the news. Time Out likes it. Police best pay attention: ?Clean up those streets!' Ooh we're trendy now. I'm going to rebuild the place and make a ton of money." It's Brixton in 1981 and a family's home is about to be repossessed. It's Leeds in 2016 and an architect has designed the tallest building the city has ever seen. It's Newfoundland in 1903 and a man is about to start a journey that will take him (and his house) across continents and the 20th century. And, in Shoreditch in 2015, Write By Numbers, who have worked on regeneration projects across London, want to know if they're part of the solution - or the problem. In Regeneration award winning theatre company Write By Numbers present their playful, epic and urgent exploration of urban regeneration, gentrification and what makes us call a place ?home' as they invite audiences to join them in imagining how we might together create the cities of the future.
