A tale of infidelity and paranoia at the Jack from 27 April – 7 May.
The Count of Monte Cristo
by Alexandre Dumas
adapted by Connie Stephens
presented by Myriad Productions
In return for a slow, profound, eternal torture, I would give back the same; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Young Edmond Dantes has it all, the love of the beautiful Mercedes, a promising career of adventure on the high seas and a remarkably well-balanced relationship with his father. But all is not as rosy as it seems, for Edmond is the unwitting victim of three envious acquaintances who devise a scheme to falsely accuse him of treason. Sentenced to life in prison, Dantes must find a means to escape the impenetrable walls of the Chateau d’If, discover the whereabouts of Mercedes and exact a terrible revenge upon the men who robbed him of his future.
Alexandre Dumas’ formidable page-turner is brought to the stage in this rollicking new adaptation, which premieres at the Jack prior to a national UK tour. An epic story of fate and fury, revenge and hubris, ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ is the ultimate tale of vigilante justice.
He will be revenged!

Count of Monte Cristo
Keeping Mum
by Judith Bryan
directed by Rebecca Manson Jones
produced by Darren Batten
The big freeze of 1963 and a young Caribbean couple struggle to survive in a new city and a harsh winter. Almost fifty years later, a stranger finds a confused woman wandering the snow covered streets. When the innocence of a nursery rhyme unlocks a chilling family secret, the kindness of strangers isn’t what it seems.
” It was like she was shut in a box with glass walls. And still you felt stuff coming off her, like heat. Not heat. Like cold, like ice, burning. All my life she’s been burning with something. I don’t know what.”

The Laundry
by Joe Ward Munrow
Worn out, weary and working in a Liverpool laundry, Terry needs someone to talk to other than the basement walls. Teenager Ben becomes his new assistant, having left London and his recent past behind. As the laundry’s monotony and claustrophobia take their toll, the two men find themselves locked in a violent battle of wills, dependent on each other for their own freedom and redemption.
“We’re gonna have to sort something out mate, coz I’m not gonna work another minute with someone I don’t know. Someone who apparently only likes money and chips. It’s gonna look shit on your tombstone.”
Dates: Tuesday 1 – Saturday 5 March at 7.45pm

Susan White is 35.
Average height.
Average build.
Average looks.
But there’s something far from average about Susan.
Susan is best friends with Deirdre Barlow, infact she is the No. 1 super fan of the TV soap star from Coronation Street. From liaisons with Mike Baldwin, on-going problems with the Platts and the campaign to free the Weatherfield One, Susan has mentally catalogued all of the intimate details of the former Mrs. Rashid.
An original one woman show full of laugh out loud yet poignant humour in the style of Alan Bennett and Victoria Wood.
Following sell out performances in London, and prior to a national UK tour.
