Social Immobility is a 2-act working class construction site comedy written by Taylor Ayling a working-class director, writer and labourer. It is set in a knock-through of a semi-detached Clifton town house in Bristol. This is a crass, naughty and bombastic explosion of a play that exploits that fantasy you had when you were getting work done in your house: What are they doing in there?

The play follows a monumental day in carpenter Henry's life. Despite being rotten to the core, he is undeniably charming and totally loveable. This is the day that his mountain of lies comes avalanching down to finally bury him.

The play is about the dualistic nature of building site culture. The freedom, the debauchery, the joy of seeing the labour of your day concretely in front of you. These things are the enduring pleasures of site life. But then there is the other side - the racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia. The crippling performance of masculinity that seems to suffocate some and liberate others. It is also about the dream of social mobility, how for some it keeps us trapped in a loop of hedonistic despair and yet for the lucky few, offers a lifeline to something better.

Expect site humour, fast paced farcical narrative and a little (albeit highly dramatised) insight into the lives of construction workers.
