“Let him press his poxy charges. If he wants to mess with me, he’s going to have to extradite me.”
Ever suffered at the hands of a terrible landlord? Gone days, or even weeks, without heat or hot water? And to top it off, the same useless landlord has the nerve to raise your rent? Have you dreamt of getting your own back? So has Don in Kwami-Teye Canacoo’s The Tenant’s Republic.
In this satirical comedy, Donovan Pearce navigates the complications of relationships and unemployment, all whilst chasing the simple dream of doing what he loves for a living and trying to keep a roof over his head.
But getting in his way is his permanently neglectful landlord. So, Don decides to get his own back. Only what he didn’t expect was to cause a cold war in the process!
The Tenant’s Republic should capture the imagination of many as it tackles the subject of bad landlords and housing, something that is very relevant in today’s society.
