Fleecehold

Fleecehold, a political comedy, charts the journey of three women from the North West who have fought to abolish leasehold over the last eight years after being mis-sold their homes using the Government's Help to Buy scheme.

Katie, a nurse, is furious the freehold to her own home has been sold by the developer onto a viscount who owns 200,000 freeholds and now wants her to pay thousands of pounds for it.

She is soon joined by Cath Williams and Jo Darbyshire, who take inspiration from leasehold campaigners Sebastian O’ Kelly, Louie Burns and the ghost of 19th century leasehold reformer MP Henry Broadhurst. Meanwhile, the ghosts of greedy landowners and aristocrats hinder and pour scorn on their attempts at reform alongside modern-day freeholders and developers.
