Description



Book Synopsis



A community-clash drama with a sophisticated treatment of race and gentrification. --Guardian

In the quaint suburban community of Stillwater, a mysterious shack springs up from the dust with the inhabitants nowhere to be seen. As speculation abounds, new residents Sihle and Bonolo are recruited by their neighbourhood to be the face of a campaign to demolish the shack.

Funny, thrilling and provocative, A Good House is an explosive exploration of race, resentment, and community politics when couple discovers the limits of good neighborliness and what's required to fit in.



Review Quotes




A lacerating racial and social satire...morally nuanced, exhilarating and deeply humane.
--Telegraph

Mischievous and unpredictable.
--The Times

Excruciatingly funny and highly enjoyable.
--Financial Times

Biting and subversive...Each of Jephta's richly drawn characters is intriguingly flawed, and surprisingly relatable.
--The Stage

Raucously funny...perceptive, provoking fun.
--Evening Standard

A constant joy to watch...Stuffed full of amazing lines, A Good House is a very good play.
--Time Out

Amy Jephta's writing is startling. It's a fast-paced script which has you laughing one minute and shrinking into your seat in uncomfortable horror the next.
--Everything Theatre
