A About the Plot of RENT
Benny is Mark and Roger's former roomate. With the help of his new wealthy father-in-law he has bought the building in which Mark and Roger live, and the lot next door that is inhabited by a group of homeless people. Benny wants to build a high-tech cyber-arts studio on the property. Towards this end, he plans to clear the homeless from the lot and evict all the tenants of the building, including Mark and Roger.
Mark's former lover, Maureen, schedules a performance protest of Benny's scheme for mid-night Christmas Eve. Benny offers a deal to Mark and Roger: If they convince Maureen to stop her protest, the can stay in the buidling rent-free.
At the end of Act I, Maureen stages her performance. A riot erupts in the lot, which Mark videotapes. Then Benny padlocks the building, locking out all the tenants.
Act II, begins on New Year's Eve as Mark, Roger and friends attempt to break back inot the building. The rest of the act follows the events of the year.
