JACK IN A BOX
By Joanne Thomson, directed by Katherine Nesbitt
Saturday 9th August, 6:00pm
When Kingmead Police Department
receives the ultimate severed virtue signal in a box, they’re forced to
come to their own reckonings of what justice should look like. Embroiled
in sheer dystopian impracticality, Jack in a Box is one giant metaphor for
the failings of our justice system when it comes to sexual assault. Told
through the eyes of Barbara, the receptionist, this is a rare insight into
the farcical social agreement to suppress your trauma and keep going in
everyday rooms. Think The Office meets Promising Young Woman. Shed
Originals are your chance to experience brand-new scripts, developed with
Shedinburgh's support, from some of the most exciting new voices in
theatre.
