When a tech millionaire showers free money on a humble Kenyan village once held together by cups of borrowed sugar, all hell breaks loose, and only shrewd but illiterate Lel (6Os, can keep the madness from boiling over. 

Lel (60s) is everyone's grandmother-loving, blunt, and now the reluctant Headman of a tiny Kenyan village. There's just one problem: she can't read. She's spent her life being useful, fixing everyone else's problems so no one discovers what she can't do for herself.

WRITER'S STATEMENT
I worry about money constantly. The lack of it shapes where I live, how I spend my time, and who I keep close. It makes me anxious and small. Sometimes I forget about it for a moment and feel light, but it never lasts.
What if money wasn't a concern? Not just for me, but for an entire community. That's the heart of "Money Town", a show about a small village suddenly given everything it needs and more.
When survival is no longer the struggle, who do people become? Do they still rely on one another, or does comfort make connection optional?
In a world divided by wealth, "Money Town" asks whether abundance brings us closer or quietly pulls us apart. It suggests that compassion and community can't be bought-they are choices we make every day, regardless of what we have.
