Synopsis: | Hi, I'm Chris John Jackson, international life coach, and I want to tell YOU about my sensational approach to love, life and finance. I call it Jackson's Way, a simple, workable method of making the equation love/money + property x mood = Gravy Train' work on your terms and at your pace. I'm here to help YOU, and I want you to have a piece of my Way. Part theatre, part comedy, Jackson's Way is a modern day parody of American motivational speakers and a satire on the world of self help and corporate jargon. Join Chris John Jackson for perhaps the most surreal hour you are likely to spend in a theatre. | |||||

Notes: | devised by Will Adamsdale, Jason Barnett, Chris Branch, matthew Steer and melanie Wilson. Written by Will Adamsdale. part of Rough Cuts | |||||
Synopsis: | So far, all that's clear is that this involves a grumpy writer discovering a Victorian man living in a wall of his flat. Everyone's pretty surprised. Adjustments have to be made. There are probably songs too (and hitting green recycling boxes like drums*). There's a mysterious African man and there might be a music hall chanteuse. Hopefully it's like a fairy tale set in a world you may recognize, of knock-throughs and cappuccinos and recycling, where everyone has everything but somehow that's not enough. | |||||
