London – 1965 and a new family moves in to number 64 Cherry street, in Holloway, North London. People didn’t know it then, but their arrival would change the destiny of three families on that street forever.

‘The Soul of Cherry Street’ is the epic story of three family’s lives from 1965 until the dawn of the new Millennium. Each family is from a different ethnic background and the film is a study of how exposure to different cultures can effect change in the lives of those who embrace it and those who fear it.

It is also the journey of one woman, (Aunty Hope) whose kindness, love, compassion and understanding humbly influences the lives of those around her and how her endearing personality eventually comes to warm even the coldest of hearts.

The story is broken into three plays, where a different family is the focus of each one but all the characters appear in every story showing how the lives and actions of one have repercussions on those around them. Each play works as a story and a piece of theatrical drama in its own right but all three of them also work as one epic story which charts the lives of the characters over 35 years against the backdrop of an ever changing London. It examines the clash of cultural conflict between the various characters over this time and the search by some for an identity that they feel they have lost.

But more than that, in this story, the city of London is a character itself, an ever changing beast that can sometimes force change upon those who live in it. A harsh mistress that is unkind to those who do not follow its rules. While those who live on its thousands of streets seek to rule their own lives, does it not in fact rule theirs? Or are the people that live here the very life blood of its every breath? If it is to prosper does not a change have to come to give us all a chance?

The storylines and characters have been work-shopped and created by the actors on the 100 Project. The play will have three different directors, one for each decade, including Lance Nielsen, Dickon Toulson, and one other to be announced in the future.

For evil to prosper all it takes is for good men to do nothing.
