BAFTA-winning writer and recovering spoken-word artist Jack Rooke (Creator of Hulu / C4’s Big Boys) brings his debut comedy-theatre show ‘Good Grief’ back to Soho Theatre for a final time, a decade on from it launching his career.
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”.
Directed by Gabriel Bisset-Smith (now also a telly wanker).
