A funny and unsettling play about who’s

A male photographer is taking a photograph of
a female celebrity. She wants to be reinvented.
She wants to be ‘for real’.
A tale of greed, adventure
and ruin, inspired by Rudyard
Kipling’s classic novel.
Combining searing text, bold physicality
and original music to bring Kipling’s
ground-breaking novella to life, this is
a thrilling new play exploring Britain’s
colonial legacy in the Middle East.

political drama.” êêêêê THE SCOTSMAN
êêêê THE GUARDIAN
“Flawless.” êêêê THE STAGE
Spanning several summer holidays, Jess And Joe Forever is
an unusual coming of age tale that explores rural life. It is a
thoughtful play about finding your place in the world when
you only know a small corner of it.
