When the commission to transform a Victorian era slum in South London into modern low-rise community-friendly dwellings comes his way, David, a passionate and idealistic architect, couldn’t be more excited. But the potentially career changing utopian development on Basuto Road soon takes on a very different shape. Moving back and forward in time between the late 1960s and early 1980s London, Benefactors encompasses universal themes that resonate powerfully today. Against the backdrop of urban renewal, this edgy and intriguing play gives us four people whose intentions are not always as they seem.
Approximate running time 2 hours and 20 minutes including Interval.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
