Chicken Burger N Chips
Corey's London is changing, but can always count on his favourite snack. He has to choose between loyalty to friends, duty to his father and the possibility of new love with Jodie.
Corey and his friends are hanging out at a local fried chicken shop. It's their last summer together before going to university. Then along comes Jodie, alluring and intelligent, and awakens him to the progressing changes in south London's Lewisham Borough. Corey must now consider the choices that will affect his future.
Chicken Burger N Chips is a raw coming-of-age story about growing up in south London amid redevelopment and gentrification. Corey Bovell's script is fast-paced and witty and tells a fictional account, inspired by his own experiences, of the consequences of change's impact on the lives of a community.
Corey Bovell's play tells a story about gentrification and its impact on the lives of its youths. Chicken Burger N Chips is an audio adaptation of the one-person play that takes the audience through determining which of the protagonist's options will be best for him, amid his changing neighbourhood, a new love, honouring friendships, and dedication to his family.
