A PEAK INTO THE WORLD OF KENSALTOWN
In the shadows of Trellick Towers lies a five hundred yard stretch of road from Ladbroke Grove along The Grand Union Canal. It's the poorest part of the richest borough in London, a pocket in plush West London fighting gentrification thick and fast.
This is where AMIRA, a gay Moroccan runaway, PANDORA, a teenage pocket-rocket with a dark side, a samurai sword and a Ducati Motorbike; EUAN MACPHERSON an undercover policeman with split personalities, grime youngers The W10 GANG and the wealthy but dysfunctional GREG and MIRA - along with a panoply of other colourful Londoners - call home.
PANDORA's little brother, WILLIAM and best friend MACEY throw a fire extinguisher off the roof of Trellick Towers, accidentally decimating an undercover policewoman talking to god below. GREG, throttles a morally bankrupt town councillor, while hallucinating. There's a Social Justice riot in full swing, with the right honorable BEN CRYJOY at the heart of it and The W10 gang are robbing Sainsbury's at gunpoint, it's just another day in KENSALTOWN.
In this dark, funny, stylish immorality tale set in the hyper-real brutalist cityscape of North Kensington, where supermodels rub shoulders with teenage gang members, media moguls live next to struggling single mums, and green grocers sell cocaine with half a pound of apples; a cast of flawed and ultimately doomed characters are undone and remade again as they attempt to cover up their crimes and misdemeanors.
KENSALTOWN is not a who-done-it, but a raucous, irreverent pyscho-drama about a community whose nefarious activities are not always what they seem and how teenagers with a little Social Network butterfly effect, can change the world. It's a furious, melting pot comedy of errors, and - post Grenfell - an indictment on the current social status quo.
Names have been changed, events embroidered and personalities merged but the place remains the same:
