The supernatural production ‘Strawberry Jack’ is coming to The Kings Arms in Salford after a successful run.
Written and directed by Joe O’Byrne, Strawberry Jack will return to The Kings Arms this February Saturday 3 until Monday 5.
The show premiered in 2011 and was well received by audiences at that time. Out of over 2000 shows that The Reviews Hub reviewed that year it finished in the Top 50, which included many West End shows.
Joe commented: “This is my throw back to the Greek Tragedies and it tells a tale on a par with them; a living myth, a fairy tale freak, a dark legend who is struggling
to fill the scarred skin of the beast he once was.
“I’m really proud of what the cast and crew are doing on this one. We’re creating a living nightmare world, a world that could be in permanent night such is the atmosphere.
“That’s not to say you won’t find plenty of humour here, gloriously black humour swirling around these extraordinary characters – the ‘Bad Batch’ – the worn in villains and worn out heroes, that will thrill you, make you laugh and yes, make you cry. Oh, and look out for Shirley, The Angel of The Heights – seen in The Bench and talked about in Diane’s Deli.”
The show features an original sound track and design from the “brilliant” Justin Wetherill, who aims to portray a world caught between “waking and sleeping”.
Joe added: “This one is quite ambitious in what I’m aiming for, achievable I think – and if this works I’ll build even further on it.
“The work everyone is putting in though is amazing, showing a real love for theatre, characters, sound, vision and story telling – all we need now is an
audience, and Salford and Manchester provide some of the very best.”
