Deadly secrets don’t stay hidden for long…
Jackson has killed his boyfriend Ted and has no choice but to cover up his death. However, a vision of Ted still lives on in his mind, tormenting him about his new secret. Both best friend Bernice and grief counsellor Alex are concerned for Jackson’s welfare, thinking something’s not quite right with his recent behaviour.
Touring in May and June 2022, The Predicament of Jackson Scott was a dark comedy play about queer relationships, grief, and secrets, showing how keeping them from others can have disastrous consequences. It was performed at the Merlin Theatre in Frome, the Loco Klub in Bristol, and the Rondo Theatre in Bath as part of the Bath Fringe Festival.
