The Tenant's Republic

11 Oct 2025

Burstellar Productions Present The Tenant's Republic

Ever suffered at the hands of a terrible landlord? Gone days- or even weeks- without heat or hot water? And to top it off, the same useless landlord has the nerve to raise your rent? Have you dreamt of getting your own back? So has Don. But when he does, things quickly spiral out of control.

In this satirical comedy, Donovan Pearce navigates the complications of relationships and unemployment, all whilst chasing the simple dream of doing what he loves for a living. But, getting in his way is his permanently neglectful landlord. So, Don decides to get his own back. Only, what he didn't expect was to cause a cold war in the process!
