“SCAB.”

Rio is currently writing a play inspired by their time as a property guardian in 2022. The play seeks out themes like class, queerness, the choices we make to get what we want, and what we can sacrifice to get there.

“Alice and Rosh have returned to the guardianship they shared to protest its immediate demolition. In the building’s final 40 minutes, old woulds get reopened and new ones are created - will they scab over in time to save both their relationship and the home they shared?”

Described as rich, dynamic, evocative and raw, this piece will explore young people and their disenfranchisement, the rise of hyper-intellectualism, and London’s desperate housing crisis.
