It‘s 1961 and the concrete’s just been poured for a brand new housing estate. It’s beautiful, not because of the clean lines, indoor toilets and wide windows, but because the idea behind it is beautiful. This is the future, and it’s for everyone.
It’s 2018 and the last tower of the estate is about to come down. The dream that saw it built has long since died and now the estate has to follow suit to make way for new buildings, based on new ideas. This is the future, whether you like it or not.
Trap Street stages the city through the maps that have tried to define it. It explores a community trying to find its way in a landscape shaped by power.
6-31st March 2018, New Diorama Theatre. For more info and to book tickets click here.
