Flo has just started uni and is living in a share house just off campus. She takes over Arlo's room, who's sleeping in a swag in the backyard while he waits for Tori to finish moving into Brett's room. 4 Dale Street has had a revolving door for 6 years, and no-one really knows who's actually on the lease anymore.

Share House is an interactive and immersive new work, exploring the lives of young people in their first five years living out of home. Using monologue, live music, poetry, audience participation (soz) and other innovative staging elements, Share House will be a tender, funny and poignant foray into the stresses and joys of renting.
