“Benji’s Boutique is the place to be if you want the hottest clothes in your city!”

Set in the early to mid-2000s, Benji’s Boutique places a Black British family at the centre of a fast-changing cultural moment, exploring ambition, identity, masculinity, relationships, and the tensions that come with trying to build success while carrying the weight of family expectations.

Fuelled by the energy of UK garage, early 2000s fashion, and the shift from high street culture into a new digital era, Birmingham-born actor, writer and director Stefan Davis brings audiences into a vibrant world of big personalities, sharp dialogue, and playful confrontation.

At the centre is Benji, a loud, charismatic frontman who thrives on image, status, and presence. Running the business behind the scenes is his sister Shaneen, the sharp, strategic mind keeping everything afloat while rarely receiving the credit. Alongside them are Kimberly and Alexis, each bringing their own perspective, humour, and tension into the space.

Benji’s Boutique becomes a pressure cooker of family dynamics, ambition, and identity, where humour and conflict collide with moments of farce, quick-fire exchanges, and bold character choices. Beneath the comedy sits a grounded exploration of resilience, power, and the realities of modern Black British family life.

This special script-in-hand presentation offers audiences an early look into the world of Benji’s Boutique through a work-in-progress sharing of the first act, inviting conversation, feedback, and continued development as the project grows.
