“No one has house parties anymore. A good house party has become a lost art. Where am I supposed to meet the love of my life if not in the tiny kitchen at a friend of a friend’s house?” asks Skip, a woman in her early twenties, in Chakira Alin’s new play, House Party.
Skip answers the question herself seconds later: “The reason no one has house parties anymore, of course, is because no one has houses anymore. It’s hard to have a house party in your tiny flat share in Homerton with the two weirdos you met on Spare Room who don’t do their share of the dishes. Even worse still if you live with your parents.”
