JACKPOT

You fall in love. You buy a house. You start a family. Right? Yet for Hal and Serafine, who share a tiny studio on the wrong side of town, dreams aren't made so easy.

Where there's a crisis, there's always a profit to be made. Jackpot is a dark modern fairy tale about the housing crisis and what we're prepared to do to get what we want.

Jackpot is a dark modern fairy tale about the housing crisis and the stark choices young Londoners face today. Hal and Serafine are young, in love, and have all but given up their dream of getting onto the housing ladder. Then they stumble into the murky underworld of fertility experts doubling as Polish builders, and hard-headed entrepreneurs who exploit the housing market in any way they can and are presented with an immoral offer. Will they give up their first-born for a house of their own?

This laugh-out-loud pitch-black comedy asks serious questions about a world of rampant greed, an unregulated rental market, rogue landlords and the human cost of gentrification. It manages to be extremely entertaining and a call-to-arms.
