Jack Rooke: Good Grief
BAFTA-winning writer and recovering spoken-word artist Jack Rooke brings back his debut comedy-theatre show Good Grief.
About
Featuring the original show (co-written with his 80-year old Nan Sicely) and some present day musings, this retrospective further explores grief, ambition, being a class traitor, milking having a dead dad for personal / professional gain, the innocence of writing just for oneself before the interference of "telly wankers", and the palpable regret of his own decline into becoming said "telly wanker".
Content Warning: this show may contain potentially triggering stories around grief, suicide and Geri leaving the Spice Girls in May 1998.
Directed by Gabriel Bisset-Smith (now also a telly wanker).
"Good Grief 2.0 [is] a delightful and still affecting watch" - Guardian
"Engaging, frank and humorous" - New York Times
★★★★ "A delight... cheerily but sensitively tackling the most painful of subjects and finding hope in them" - Scotsman
