Act One SCENE 1 (A young teenage boy, in a massive opulently adorned living room of a wealthy family, wearing a gold long chain, comes out of his room with just a jumpsuit badly worn; having a banter with his mother over a report of his reckless spending and partying in school, he obviously feels indifferent about his mothers’ chastisement, and the mother then pleads that he should at least focus because of the future- SUCCESSION plan) Larry (His full name is Olanrewaju): Mummy why now?
