...THERE’S FIRE!

An extract from a two-act play. Dramatic, with comedic elements.

Rob plans to rent out his late-mother’s house to help cover debts incurred by his failed business. But, when it catches fire mid-renovation, he must rope in his brother Marc and nephew Sam to help clean off the smoke damage. Initially, they strike up a building-site banter, having a laugh on what proves to be quite a tough job. However, as they work together to wipe away the soot, family secrets are uncovered and tensions surface. Will they come together and make the house back into a home, or will it all come tumbling down?
