Overview
The present day. A residential street in South East London. The house
where reclusive siblings Peppy and Daniel were born is now stuffed full
of everything they have ever owned. This hoard, their eccentric
appearance and rampant garden hedge, set them conspicuously apart from
others on their road. When young Ben visits from next door he is simply
looking for friendship; but what happens next challenges everyone's
idea of neighbourliness. The House They Grew Up In is a tender, dark
and funny look at a co-dependent relationship between a brother and a
sister, and how they cope when the world bursts in on them. It explores
how, in an age of anxiety, we live alongside those different to us.
