“Once they’ve been here long enough, they’re no longer squatters. Then they’re simply… Neighbours.”

Directed by Nancy Medina (Trouble in Mind, National Theatre), A Good House is a co-production with Bristol Old Vic in association with The Market Theatre, Johannesburg.

A Good House was originally co-commissioned by the Royal Court Theatre with the Fugard Theatre, South Africa.

A Good House runs from 11 January 2025 until 8 February 2025 at the Royal Court Theatre, London. Don’t miss your chance to see this bitingly funny new play—book your tickets now!

“Once they’ve been here long enough, they’re no longer squatters. Then they’re simply… Neighbours.”

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 in this biting satire of community politics.
