Claudwick.

Alexander BollProfessional company

Claudwick is young, wealthy and heir to a large fortune from a noble family. Being raised in some backwater town, he decides to leave his ivory tower and invest in a renovated warehouse loft in Peckham, looking for the exhilarating, gritty urban life. The life he finds though, is not the one he looks for. Fairly disappointed, he starts to educate his new friends and neighbours to make his world make sense again. A sharp, satirical comedic theatre show on the choking reality of gentrification and the intellectual bewilderment of obscene wealth. Directed by award-winning director Katharina Boll.
