Summaries

When Mike, a bankrupt landlord, and his adolescent daughter Chloe suddenly find themselves homeless, they decide the only solution is to move in with their three tenants. But father and daughter are shocked to learn that they now share a house with three people with an intellectual disability, and a motorbike-mad social educator. And if Chloe has something to say about the situation, so do Robert, Trev, Belinda and Jack. A warring comedy of foiled expectations follows.—Anonymous

House Gang is an energetic and irreverent domestic comedy with a naughty sense of fun. Featuring three remarkable young actors, each with an intellectual disability, it takes an unconventional look at "family" in the 90s. Above all else House Gang celebrates diversity-you don't need to have a disability to be challenged by the problems of modern life. And being "normal" doesn't give us sole rights on love, sex, ambition, or laughter.
